From investing in our fleet to improving the way we operate, sustainability remains a key focus across the Readypower Group.

As part of that commitment, we submit our data to GRESB (Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark) each year to independently assess and benchmark our environmental, social and governance performance.

Each year since our first assessment, we’ve improved our results. This year, we’re proud to have received:

• 100% in our GRESB assessment
• A GRESB rating of 5 Stars
• 1st place out of 11 rail sector organisations assessed across Europe

Billy Colebatch, our Group Head of Business Transformation, said:

“Achieving a perfect GRESB score reflects the hard work taking place across the Group every day. It shows that sustainability isn’t something we do separately from the business. We embed this approach into the way we grow and operate.”

We’re incredibly proud of this achievement, but we’re even more focussed on what comes next.

Thank you to everyone across the Group whose commitment and hard work contributed to this result.

We've got five nominations in the Rail Staff Awards 2026, and public voting is now open. Here's who we'd love you to get behind.

🏆 Charity Award: the Readypower Group Social Committee. Twelve people across five sites, raising money for causes including the Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity, Help for Heroes and Sebastian's Action Trust. The team delivers social value through volunteer days, foodbank collections, plasma donor drives and family fun days. Vote here: https://railstaffawards.com/RSA26/en/page/voting-is-now-open-?nomination=0a0c-the-social-committee

🏆 Customer Service Award: the Readypower Rail Services Commercial Team. Nine of the eleven have operated the machines themselves, so customers get advice from people who know the RRVs inside out. Vote here: https://railstaffawards.com/RSA26/en/page/voting-is-now-open-?nomination=4da1-the-commercial-team

🏆 Learning, Development and Investing in People Award: Danny Tighe, Readypower Rail Services. This year one of his apprentices finished a three-year apprenticeship in under half the time with a Distinction, and another was Highly Commended in Plant Mechanic of the Year at the CPHA Stars of the Future Awards. He tailors his support to each apprentice and keeps backing our engineers' development long after they've qualified. Vote here: https://railstaffawards.com/RSA26/en/page/voting-is-now-open-?nomination=fa3a-danny-tighe

🏆 Lifesaver Award: Steven Hickling and Mark Williams, Readypower Terrawise. They stepped in to help a vulnerable member of the public in serious distress, showing real calm and compassion.

🏆 Rail Engineer of the Year: Charlie Bunyan, Readypower Rail Services, Scotland. Charlie standardised the control layouts across our fleet of on-track plant, making the machines easier and safer for operators to use. "That's how it's always been done" is never an acceptable answer for him. Vote here: https://railstaffawards.com/RSA26/en/page/voting-is-now-open-?nomination=9877-charlie-bunyan

If you've worked with any of them, you'll know why they're here. Voting only takes a minute and we’d really appreciate your support.

The new Readypower Rail Services Liebherr AH921 went out on site for the first time over the weekend, after months of work to get it here.

It's well specced: InTeEx AB rated capacity indicator, fire suppression, a BMair International BV pressurised cab system, remote fault reporting, 46-tonne towing capacity, all-wheel and crab steer, and a Tier 5 engine for low emissions.

Compact and zero-tail-swing too, which makes it a strong addition to the fleet drainage capabilities. We can now safely excavate 6-foot drainage alongside an engineering train inside a tunnel, something we've wanted the capability for.

A lot of people put in the work to get these machines on the track, so it's good to finally see one on the infrastructure. We're looking forward to seeing what it can do.

What a day. At the beginning of the summer, 22 teams came out to The Warwickshire Golf Club for the Readypower Charity Golf Day, all in support of the Lighthouse Charity.

We're still totting up the final numbers, but it's looking like we've raised over £20,000. Huge thanks to everyone who played, sponsored, or just came along to support the day. That includes our customers and supply chain partners who dug deep to make this happen.

The Lighthouse Charity provides wellbeing and crisis support to construction workers and their families across the UK and Ireland, so every penny raised goes somewhere that really matters.

Bill Hill, Honorary Vice President of Lighthouse, said: “Readypower Group, their customers and their supply chain have been terrific supporters of Lighthouse. At a time when our charity services are so needed, they have stood up to the challenge and raised an amazing amount to help us deliver our support services to our construction community.”

Thanks to everyone who made it such a great day.

Rail drainage is hard to get right precisely because it's out of sight, you're often working blind until there's already a problem.

Our Readypower Rail Services on-track teams handle everything from locating buried catch pits and clearing them, through silt and ballast removal and quick clearance of culverts and troughing ducts, to water jetting of pipe runs and cable ducts, wet bed removal, and non-intrusive excavation around cables.

We can also offer a CCTV survey where you need eyes on exactly what's happening below ground, not just a description of it.

If drainage is causing you problems on a live rail asset, or you're not sure what's down there in the first place, that's a conversation worth having before it becomes a bigger job. Get in touch at [email protected].
