SAFE COST EFFICIENT SOLUTIONS
Mel Ewell, Amey’s chief executive, said: “Network Rail is a key client for Amey, and through this framework we are able to further support their aims to drive value and enhance collaboration across their supply chain. It provides an excellent vehicle for sharing of best practice to support improvements to Britain’s rail network.”
"Our involvement at the early GRIP stages together with a greater emphasis on whole life costing will also enable us to propose and develop safe cost efficient solutions", said Ewell.
