Lanes Group

Lanes Group recently sponsored Aireborough RUFC's Under 16s squad from West Yorkshire. The team have just returned from an unforgettable four-day tour to Parma, Italy. The sponsorship funded the tour kit for 28 players, their coaches, and parents, as they trained at Zebre Rugby Club and played matches against local teams. Head Coach Rob Rattray thanked Lanes Group for supporting an experience that helped players learn valuable life lessons and cultural exchange. Lanes Group’s Colin Mackay CIWFM added, "It was a privilege to lend our support to such a worthwhile cause." The tour not only provided unforgettable sporting moments but also highlighted the power of community, shared values, and international camaraderie.

Today we celebrate International Women's Day (IWD). As a company in a male-dominated industry, we are actively working to increase female representation at every level.

IWD represents more than just a single day; it reflects our daily commitment to cultivating a more inclusive workplace. Whether it's lending support to a colleague, confronting biases, or dedicating time to learn, each action matters. #IWD2025

Lanes Group is proud to announce that it has achieved ISO 27001 certification, the global standard for information security management. This certification reflects our commitment to protecting sensitive information, reducing security risks, and continuously improving our processes—giving our customers, partners, and employees confidence that their data is in safe hands. Mo Dawood, Lanes Group IT Director says: “Achieving ISO 27001 certification was a complex process, given the scale and operational diversity of Lanes Group. It required the careful alignment of security policies, risk management frameworks, and compliance controls to meet stringent international standards—all while ensuring minimal disruption to our day-to-day operations. Throughout this journey, Peter Starr, Lanes Group Security Manager, was supported by Darren from Iridium (IR77 limited), whose expertise in leading ISO 27001 implementations was instrumental in making this transition as seamless as possible. His deep understanding of security frameworks and best practices enabled us to streamline processes, embed robust security measures, and enhance our risk management capabilities". A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this happen! #ISO27001 #InformationSecurity #CyberSecurity #LanesGroup #ContinuousImprovement
