A fast-growing Leeds-based multi-service provider that has contracts with major organisations, including Network Rail and Osborne, has appointed a new Head of Rail.
Servo Group has promoted Michelle Moss from within the company to head up the rail division after the former Head of Rail left through ill-health. Michelle has been Servo’s Commercial Director for the past two years. Prior to that she worked for Trackwork as Deployment/ Engagement Manager. Michelle has an extensive background in business development and recruitment and is passionate about placing people into sustainable employment.
Michelle has played an integral part in driving Servo Group’s turnover to £10 million this year. She has also been instrumental in winning notable framework agreements with Network Rail, Osborne, Buckingham Group and Amco and has been a driving force in implementing Servo’s apprentice scheme which is creating jobs and bringing a new generation in to the rail industry.
In her new role, Michelle will take full responsibility for Servo’s thriving rail division, overseeing its existing framework agreements and driving forward further growth.
Servo Group Director, Andrew McCallion said: “It’s fantastic to have been able to promote from within – the decision to put Michelle at the helm of our rail division was a very easy one, we are delighted with the contribution she has made to the company so far, and excited for the potential growth that Servo Rail has coming under her leadership, with some huge contracts in the pipeline.”
Servo’s rail division has a huge amount of work to come after winning tenders for CP6, TransPennine and the Northern Powerhouse schemes, as well as work on the upcoming HS2 scheme.
The company has achieved fast, national growth since its inception in 2014, hitting a turnover of £10 million this year. Along with its thriving rail division, it also provides reliable S.I.A licensed manned guarding, CCTV, and property management services.
The rail sector, which already accounts for 225,000 UK jobs, is predicted to see a surge of job creation in the next few years due to ongoing Government commitments to improve the state of the industry. Private and public sector investment in rail is expected to boost the UK economy by nearly £85 billion.
