Core Highways

Life at Core Highways At Core Highways, we’re growing into the UK’s largest supplier of temporary traffic management, barrier solutions and event signage. As we grow and build more connections with our partners across the UK, a key focus for us will always be the development of our people. Today we meet Amy, one of our HR Advisors, who tells us more about what she has taken from recently completing her CIPD Level 5 Apprenticeship in Human Resources. Amy also tells us more about what her role in the business entails and what makes her tick outside of work too. Making sure our people have the space and time to grow professionally and personally is always something that we’ll be passionate about at Core Highways.

Announcing Our Driver of the Year Winner! After careful deliberation and a thorough review of Samsara data, we are thrilled to announce the winner of Core Highways' Driver of the Year award! What is Driver of the Year? The Driver of the Year program celebrates drivers who consistently demonstrate exceptional driving behaviours, as measured by our telematics system. This system generates a driver score based on key safety and performance metrics. Who Is Eligible? All employed members of staff driving a Core Highways vehicle are eligible for this prestigious recognition. How Are Scores Calculated? Samsara evaluates driver performance using a set of predetermined criteria that monitor behaviours such as safe and efficent driving patterns. This data is then measured against each driver's total miles driven over the year, and the results help us identify the best of the best. The winners, in reverse order, are... Third Place: David Tysoe Nuneaton Depot Second Place: Thomas Johnson, Sandy Depot And the Winner is….. Matthew Johns. Congratulations to Matty! "I always look forward to celebrating our Driver of the Month and Driver of the Year programs.

"When selecting Driver of the Year, we meticulously analyse the data provided by our telematics and driver behaviour system, Samsara. Being awarded Driver of the Year is an extraordinary accomplishment. I am delighted to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Matty on this well-deserved recognition!" “At Core Highways, we value and reward excellence.

🎄 Season’s Greetings from Core Highways! 🎄 As 2024 ends, we want to thank our amazing colleagues, clients, partners, and supply chain for a year of hard work, collaboration, and success. This year, we've made significant strides in uniting our legacy brands under the strong, unified identity of Core Highways. We've built on past achievements, delivering safety and service through more efficient highway works planning, innovative products and methods, and a national network of 36 depots across the UK. With 1,350 dedicated employees, we’ve been able to scale up for major projects and provide regional support where needed, all while learning and evolving as a team. Looking ahead to 2025, we're excited to continue growing our footprint and impact in the UK. Whilst many colleagues are taking a well-deserved break our thanks to those providing services over the holiday period. A great example of bringing ‘there when it matters’ to life. From all of us at Core Highways to you and yours, we wish you a joyful Christmas and a prosperous New Year! Warmest wishes, The Core Highways Team

Showcasing Innovation for Safer Roads and Events Last Thursday, we had the pleasure of hosting one-on-one innovation presentations at our Nuneaton Depot. This exciting event brought together key stakeholders from the region’s largest infrastructure projects, their supply chains, and police forces across the Midlands to explore ground-breaking safety technologies. A special thank you to HRS for partnering with us to demonstrate cutting-edge solutions like proximity alarms, geofencing, and CCTV systems. These technologies play a critical role in enhancing safety at highway and utility maintenance sites, as well as at events, by: ✅ Alerting workers during incursions so they can move to safety swiftly ✅ Capturing evidence to support authorities in prosecuting offenders While responding to risks is crucial, prevention remains Core Highways’ top priority. That’s why we were thrilled to showcase our innovative BAAVA barrier to attendees, including Midlands police forces. The BAAVA barrier offers an unparalleled level of protection by physically closing roads at maintenance sites and events. With its ability to stop a van travelling at 30mph within just 5 metres, it’s the shortest stopping distance in its class. Compact and perfect for urban environments, this solution can: 🔹 Reduce reliance on HGV blocking vehicles at events 🔹 Cut costs, staffing levels, and asset usage 🔹 Lower the carbon footprint for major events The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with attendees excited about how the BAAVA barrier can transform safety and efficiency across their projects. Thank you to everyone who joined us—we’re looking forward to advancing these solutions together and making a real difference in safety on the ground. #Innovation #RoadSafety #Sustainability #CoreHighways #Collaboration #StrongerTogether

Recently, members of the Milestone Infrastructure Civils Projects and Hampshire TMC team organised a fantastic #STEM Day at The Crescent Primary School in Eastleigh that we were immensely proud to be a part of. The day was filled with engaging, hands-on activities including bridge-building exercises, site setup demonstrations, road safety lessons, and even a surprise visit from a gritter lorry and a traffic management lorry. It really was an exciting day for the teams involved and the children at the school too. We are not sure who enjoyed it more! Sean Murphy, Regional Director of Milestone Infrastructure shared his pride in the team’s efforts, saying, “I am incredibly proud of our team at Milestone Infrastructure for their dedication and enthusiasm in delivering such an impactful STEM Day. Thank you to the supply chain and volunteers—your time and expertise gave the pupils valuable insights into future career opportunities, inspiring the next generation of civil engineers.” Core Highways are delighted to have contributed to this meaningful initiative, helping to spark curiosity about careers in civil engineering by demonstrating the exciting prospects in the Temporary Traffic Management sector. The children also got to understand the importance of safety for everyone around and working in roadworks. Simon White, Managing Director of Major Projects and Nationals accounts said ”Our Core Highways team thoroughly enjoyed supporting our key client Milestone Infrastructure in this brilliant initiative to raise the profile of our sector and the vital work our country’s roadworkers do” #StrongerTogether #Stem #Milestone #CrescentPrimarySchool

At last week's Highways Heroes awards in Central London we were delighted to celebrate 4 of our colleagues from two different depots. Lee Robinson - Chelmsford  Luke Scriven - Chelmsford Calvin Davis - Tewkesbury Tom Bailey-Green - Tewkesbury Whilst out performing their regular duties Lee & Luke were first on the scene of a tragically fatal Road Traffic Accident. They reacted immediately and took all necessary steps to avoid further incidents from occurring and provided assistance to those at the scene. Calvin and Tom were recognised for their actions when, on their way to the A417 Missing Link project, they noticed a young lady on the wrong side of an overbridge. They stopped and intervened, preventing her from taking her own life. Everybody at Core Highways would like to publicly thank these special colleagues for their selfless actions and we were delighted that members of our Senior Leadership Team were able to join them as the industry recognised their efforts. Congratulations guys and a heartfelt thank you to all those recognised on the night for their selfless acts, too. You are all a credit to your families, your companies and the wider highways sector.
