Proud to secure RISQS accreditation and expand into rail infrastructure

We are delighted to have secured the RISQS (Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme) accreditation. This milestone allows us to bring our renowned expertise to rail infrastructure projects, expanding our capabilities beyond our established work in electric vehicle charging hubs (EV) and traditional fuel stations.

The RISQS accreditation is a critical step in our development strategy, enabling us to work alongside major contractors, on projects that focus on infrastructure surrounding the rail network, such as stations, adjoining amenities, and car parks. Leveraging decades of experience delivering comprehensive service station solutions, we believe we are uniquely equipped to meet the challenges of the rail sector with precision and innovation.

A key factor in our successful accreditation is our unwavering commitment to compliance and quality. Our achievements in attaining ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety), and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) certifications have laid the foundation for this latest success.

Supporting these efforts is our newly formed Compliance Team, an all-encompassing function designed to ensure that the company’s operations continue to meet and exceed the highest industry standards. The team is led by Ashley Davies, who has been with the business for 14 years and was recently promoted to Head of Compliance. Previously serving as Health & Safety Manager, Ashley now oversees all aspects of Compliance, Health & Safety, Environment, and Quality Assurance, supported by Iesha Llewellyn and Leigh New.

Ashley Davies, our Head of Compliance, said:

“Compliance is vital to everything we do. Our RISQS accreditation is a testament to the team’s hard work and the systems we’ve developed over the years. It represents not just a certification but our ongoing commitment to excellence in every aspect of our operations.”

This strategic expansion builds on Premier Forecourts and Construction’s decades of success in delivering complex projects for service stations nationwide. As the only company of our size with the capability to execute both electric vehicle (EV) and traditional fuel projects, the business will now apply our unique skillset to meet the specific demands of rail infrastructure.

Steve Evans, our Managing Director, said: “Our ability to pivot into new sectors like rail is a testament to the depth of talent and experience we have within our business. Our strong foundation in compliance, combined with our reputation for delivering high-quality infrastructure solutions, positions us perfectly to support the needs of the rail sector while continuing to excel in our core markets.”
