Gleeds win contracts with new ‘Expert’ Rail Forum
 Gleeds,
the International Management and Construction Consultancy, has
formed a new forum of experts who specialise in the cost and project
management services for the Rail Industry. The new business is
already proving a hit with clients including Network Rail who have
awarded contracts to Gleeds for work on signalling and telecom
projects in Reading and South Wales.
This story is repeated within large leading railway engineering and
architectural design consultants, where Gleeds are preparing Cost
Plans for stations in Nottingham, Wakefield, and Birmingham. Similar
initiatives are underway in Scotland where Gleeds has pre-qualified
to tender the Strathclyde Passenger Transport framework.
Those appointed to the rail forum include Nick Cole, David Hughes
and Steve Halliday. With industry backgrounds that include Amey
Rail, Birse Rail, the Scottish Executive, subsequently Transport
Scotland. The trio have over 70 years experience and are already
aiming to recruit more fellow professionals with specialist
experience in what they believe to be a growing sector.
“Gleeds has been involved with the rail sector since the early
1990’s,” said Steve Halliday. “We now have a corporate strategy that
means we can provide a dedicated and focused offering to Network
Rail, large engineering practices, contractors and the rail industry
generally on a national and regional basis. This is already netting
positive results and once people are aware of our capability we
believe more instructions will follow”.
Gleeds has identified a business strategy whereby they have a
three-tier approach: working directly with Network Rail at the early
stage of a rail project’s development; helping engineering
consultants who need cost consultancy services during the planning
phases of projects; and finally; working with contractors during
implementation where there is the need for cost and project
management.
They are also able to offer other services to rail clients, such as
geological surveys, project controls, building surveying, risk
facilitation and sustainability advice. “This is an excellent and
exciting development,” said Richard Steer, Senior Partner at Gleeds.
“Whilst we have an existing and acknowledged expertise in rail, it
is clear that we can develop our portfolio of projects by focusing
in this way.”
