TMO Highways now a primary supplier in Bedfordshire & Cambridgeshire

We are proud to announce that due to our excellent performance for UK Power Networks in Norfolk that we are now their primary supplier in Bedfordshire & Cambridgeshire for both planned and emergency works.

TMO and UKPN have long had a great working relationship and this has been further strengthen by the high quality performance levels we have provided them during year one for the latest contract award. Our daily strive for the highest quality service has facilitated the ability for us to expand our coverage area for their electrical works.

Credit must go to the entire operations and planning teams who have excelled when it comes to hitting UK Power Networks 2 hour emergency response KPI as well as our punctuality for their planned works. Our highly skilled planning team are often the first port of call when it comes to emergency works. They use their years of skill and experience to asses the traffic management required before providing a kit list or a CAD plan to allow our operatives to begin loading to ensure we get on site within the 2 hours. Our internal standards mean that any traffic management plan is doubled checked by a Lantra M7 qualified member of staff to ensure that our ‘right first time’ promise is met. Our commitment to efficient time keeping extends to our manual control requests, operative on site and planned works. We invest heavily in the last technology to accurately and honestly report our performance related data to our clients. This open and honest approach to our performance builds a strong sense of trust and allows us to take control of our own destiny within any contract framework. The entire team from office through to operatives understand the standards required to work at TMO Highways. The Directors are now working behind the scenes to secure a new depot in the area allowing us to bring our high quality of work to the streets of Cambridge, St Neots, Peterborough, Bedford, Ampthill, St Ives and beyond into the Midlands.

Our traffic management operatives throughout East Anglia have signed up to complete the LANTRA Gate Person Airlock Installer/Operator course.

Following our continued growth and diversification of our business we have jumped on the opportunity to sign up our staff on the newly launched LANTRA course focussing on being a Gate Person and Airlock installation.

Having seen the course content our Operations Director, Ben Green, was quick to invest in further training of our staff and ensure that the practices and methods used by TMO are keeping both our staff, our customers and the road users as safe as possible whilst out on the highway.

We are happy to announce that a further 5x operatives to our ranks further bolstering our ability to service our ever growing client list.

We have recently obtained new traffic management projects and schemes within East Anglia and North London. Our Commercial team along with our Business Development Manager have been busy drumming up new work and ensuring our clients requirements are met.

One particular contract has seen us need up to 20 more operatives on a weekly basis and we have been pushing hard to recruit quality staff who we can teach them the ‘TMO Way’. We were inundated with applicants both trained and untrained and we had the hard task of sorting though their relevant applications.

TMO Highways Go Green with the use of the latest Nissan Solar Powered Traffic Lights.

Ian Gray from Intelligent Traffic Signals who have supplied TMO Highways with the latest technology caught up with Ben Green our Operations Director and this is what Ben had to say about the 3 month trial…

Here at TMO Highways we are fully committed to reducing our impact on the global climate situation. There’s plenty of greenwashing happening but we as an ISO:14001 environmentally accredited business are constantly on the lookout for ways to reduce our carbon footprint. Undertaking weekly routine battery changes and the mileage associated with this task is an area where the Traffic Management industry as a whole can make massive forwards strides by using Solar Technology.
