10x New Vans arrive at TMO Highways East Anglia

Last week saw the arrival of 10x new Ford Transit drop side tail lift flatbeds which we be distributed amongst our Traffic Management operatives across East Anglia and the East Midlands.

The latest batch of vehicles is yet another commitment to keeping our staff driving around in safe, compliant and smart looking works vehicles to ensure that we are keeping ahead of the competition.

This week saw an addition to the TMO Highways head office setup with us expanding our office space on top of our existing layout.

A recent expansion in our operational coverage, total number of depots and staff numbers meant the expansion was a necessary move to allow our people a practical and comfortable place to work.

As of Dec 1st 2023 TMO Highways will be switching the bulk of its workflow on to Re-flow, our new preferred choice of app.

12 Months of work and preparation has gone into getting ready for the big launch. The app will help bring together the different areas of the business and will streamline everything from queries, quotes, bookings, operational assignment, collections right through to invoicing.

Business & Commercial Director, Mark Haysman, along with Jamie Lange have worked tirelessly to create the various workflows and forms to ensure that we are heading into 2024 armed with an app befitting of TMO. For many years our processes have relied on trusted spreadsheets and formulas but when the opportunity arose to tie in all our documents through reflow it soon became clear that this was the way forwards.

Recent growth at TMO has also meant we needed to look at ways of working smarter. This system will benefit everyone within our team and help us deliver the standards that our clients have come accustomed whilst using TMO. Reflow will help keep tabs of our live traffic management sites, enable us to quality check the setups and provide our clients with images from site. The operatives across Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire have been using the system for over 9 months now and have given TMO the thumbs up which enabled us to then bring in the other areas of the business.

TMO Highways take part in environmental work day

The wildlife trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire & Northamptonshire welcomed Octavious who invited ourselves, Tarmac Ltd & Cambridgeshire Highways to do some essential scrub clearance.

Fulborn Fen, an area of special scientific interest was the venue for a working party of 15 hardy souls who braved the rain to ensure the longevity of the fenland by keeping back pesky scrub and brambles.

With the recent growth across East Anglia as well as our new St Neots Depot opening in Bedfordshire our planning team has welcome two new starters into its ranks.

Joining the team is the highly experienced Ashley Varley who is stepping back into the traffic management industry having previously worked his way up from trainee operative to planning manager. Ashley’s knowledge and professionalism will fit right in with our existing planning team and we are sure he will be a hit with the clients. As well as Ashley joining we have promoted from within. Tom Godbold, our sign maker has long expressed an interest in stepping in to planning and will be starting his new role on Wednesday 11th October 2023.
