Over twenty years shaping, managing and delivering how access is planned, agreed and delivered across major UK rail programmes.
From early access strategy through to safe, on-time delivery, with a track record spanning infrastructure owners, passenger operators, principal contractors and joint ventures. Deep command of the systems, controls and safety frameworks that underpin rail engineering access.
A strong Network Rail background, today delivering station maintenance access for multiple TOCs - Avanti West Coast, Arriva Rail London, Greater Anglia, East Midlands Railway and Northern - under Network Rail possessions. Core focus: BAPA setup and oversight, PPS possession and worksite planning, deconfliction and multi-TOC station works.
Project Experts pairs that senior judgement with purpose-built software and a trusted network of planning and delivery partners - so capability scales to the programme, from a single possession through to a full planning or delivery team on the ground.

Relationships with established planning and delivery companies, brought in when a programme needs more hands - vetted, aligned and accountable.

Training and mentoring your own people on access planning, systems and controls - so the capability stays with you after the programme.
From operators and principal contractors, across two decades of delivery.
