Core Highways

Core Highways take safety in traffic management and delivery of barrier safety works so seriously that we travel the world looking for innovations and new solutions. Today Anthony Perry Dan Raffles and Neil Amesbury are taking off…. Exciting times and a new innovation coming to a road near you soon!

As a responsible nationwide traffic management and highways services provider, we recognised that by reducing our carbon footprint we would deliver a directly positive contribution towards our client's carbon impact too. To deliver this, we implemented a carbon reduction strategy which we are pleased to announce has resulted in a 17.6% carbon reduction (on a revenue intensity basis) during our last financial year. To achieve this, we set ambitious Net Zero commitments structured around seven goals delivering short and long-term carbon savings by working closely with our customers and supply chain, embracing technology, and driving operational efficiency. All of these initiatives were underpinned by the introduction of a carbon reduction toolkit which provides practical solutions and advice. We have set seven goals to achieve Net Zero by 2040, including focusing on our Scope 3 emissions. Our team has used data analytics to incentivise driver behaviour from our fleet telemetry, eliminated journeys by deploying digital sensors, and through early customer engagement used traffic modelling capability to reduce carbon from motorised road users. Lizi Stewart, CEO of Core Highways, said: “With carbon footprints coming under more intense scrutiny, Core Highways aims to showcase that we’re committed to decarbonising our operations and to remain a standout contender to deliver schemes nationwide. At Core we understand our responsibility to our clients and the environment, and we are delighted with the results we have achieved over the last year. Going forward we will continue to drive down our carbon output. With ambitious targets being set, we’ll work with supply chain partners and clients to accelerate our journey towards net zero.”

Core Highways opens new London office. As a nationwide traffic management and associated highways services provider, we have opened a new office in central London. The move provides us with a key location from which to serve our customers and meet the increasing demand for our traffic management and barrier services. Located within London’s Clerkenwell area, it is a central location point for our geographically disparate business, we operate from 36 locations across the North, the Midlands, Wales, the Southeast and the Southwest. The new London site provides a location for our southeast regional team to meet with customers and act as a hub connecting our teams across the country. The company’s office in Torquay becomes a shared services centre, alongside our hubs in Swansea, Garboldisham and Newport. We already have 36 operational depots nationally, truly reflecting our nationwide presence and localised capabilities. Lizi Stewart, CEO has said: “We are seeing increased demand for our services in the southeast. The office will create a great space for collaboration and connectivity, helping to bring together our people and connect with our customers. “Having brought all our subsidiaries together under one brand earlier this year, we automatically became one of the largest temporary traffic management and barrier companies in the UK, with 36 depots across England and Wales and over 1,200 employees. “It’s clear that this is the right time to formally expand our business further and open an office in London. We look forward to developing new business opportunities in the southeast and growing our operations.”

June is Pride Month and celebrates people coming together in love and friendship. It is a time to show how far LGBTQ rights have come, but also how far they have to go. This Pride Month, we’ll be recognising and standing with those who choose to live their lives freely, and that accept others for who they are. We can all play a part in helping everyone feel included at work or in everyday life, as an ally, friend or a colleague. At Core Highways, we remain #strongertogether when we work as one. #pride2024 #pridemonth

Moving closer to better accessibility at Llanelli station as the new steel bridge deck is successfully lifted into place. Our project team safely installed the new deck with its canopy and glazing linking the staircases and landings fitted during a previous possession. The scheme is part of an investment package to improve accessibility in Wales and Borders as part of the UK Government’s Access for All programme. In the coming weeks, lift shafts will be installed followed by more access improvements, refuge areas, and new telecoms and lighting enhancements. Thanks to Network Rail Rail our specialist supply partners Adey Steel Group, MJ, BALDWINS CRANE HIRE LIMITED Core Highways and everyone involved in achieving this significant milestone.
