Every day, Highways England, their people and supply chain play a critical role in ensuring the road network across England is kept safe and operational for the millions of people and businesses who rely on it. So, a well-maintained estate is vital to their work and employee safety and wellbeing. 

We look forward to building a strong partnership which will see our dedicated team delivering operational excellence, evidenced through: live management information linked to asset history, improved sustainability and social value, our commitment to investing in our people, and looking at ways to work more efficiently and safely.”
