Since 2002 our team of “railheads” have helped clients develop new rail services and interchanges, by providing independent and objective consultancy support. Our team collectively provides over 250 years of experience in the rail and wider transport industry, most of this gained in frontline management and operational roles moving freight and passengers.

We provide real-world experience in rail, intermodal and multimodal transport. We can assist with design and planning, finance and procurement, development, marketing and operations.

Our unique ‘house blend’ of skills and experience draws on management consultancy, transport planning, logistics, public policy, project development and operation  – delivered in a pragmatic and clear style.

Clients include ports, manufacturers, retailers, developers, logistics providers, waste contractors and government bodies, both in the UK, the European Union and the Middle East (as some of the team are multimodal and multilingual).

Our experience in new development projects covers more than 50 million square feet of rail-linked industrial floorspace, with an equally strong track record in helping secure consent on Appeal and through the Development Consent Order process.

In the freight sector, we’ve provided support for delivery of rail facilities for quarries, factories, national and regional distribution hubs, ports and local freight interchanges.

In the passenger sector, we’ve been helping progress new settlements and stations (including Worcestershire Parkway New Settlement and Kings Dene) and entertainment hubs (Qiddiya Grand Central Station and UDX Bedford).

In recent years, we’ve also extended our reach more into delivery, working as Principal Designers and Project Managers to help clients including Heidelberg, Mountpark, Platform4 and Tarmac deliver new and reinstated rail-related developments.
