A Year of Growth, Achievement, and Community Impact (2024)
Industry Recognition and Operational Excellence
Cairn Cross demonstrated its commitment to best practices in fleet management by achieving the prestigious FORS Bronze accreditation. This accomplishment underscores our dedication to safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility across our fleet of over 30 vans and company cars.
As Waheed Oluwasegun, Compliance Manager explains, ” This is an excellent achievement that demonstrates our commitment to working at the highest health and safety standards. We recently updated and implemented a new integrated management system to streamline and increase efficiency in our work practices. Completing the audit has been a testament to everyone in the business who has made this a success.”
Danny Watts, Procurement and Asset Manager and new FORS Fleet Manager explains that “FORS, a prestigious industry-recognized program, serves as a benchmark for excellence in fleet management. By adhering to its rigorous standards, Cairn Cross goes beyond mere compliance, actively promoting best practices across its fleet of over [30] vans and company cars.”
Since the implementation of the accreditation, we have developed our internal digitalisation system streamlining safety checks and further complimenting our commitment to FORS. Learn more about our FORS accreditation here.
Expanding Rail Expertise
August marked the completion of a state-of-the-art maintenance facility for GB Railfreight in Tonbridge, further solidifying our position as rail maintenance depot experts and continued relationships with industry-leading clients. This new facility supports GB Railfreight’s continued expansion in the rail freight and logistics sector.
Industry Engagement and Community Involvement
Cairn Cross actively engaged with the wider rail industry by exhibiting at the Rolling Infrastructure Networking (RIN) exhibition and Rolling Stock Networking (RSN) event in Derby. This provided valuable opportunities to connect with clients and partners and discuss industry trends.
Demonstrating our commitment to community engagement, our team participated in a Sheffield river clean-up with Riverlution and CECA in October, contributing to environmental sustainability and local well-being.
Our dedicated staff undertook various school engagements with talks, workshops and work experience with over 250 academic children to level up the next generation of civil engineers.
Maintaining High Standards
In November, Cairn Cross proudly maintained its ISO 9001:2015, 14001:2015, and 45001:2018 certifications for the 15th consecutive year. This achievement reflects our unwavering dedication to quality, environmental responsibility, and health and safety across all operations.
