Said the following about Permaquip - Aquarius Rail:

“Since the Permaquip and Aquarius Rail partnership was formed in 2021, the sister companies have consistently exhibited exceptional innovation and collaborative teamwork.

In 2022, Permaquip relocated next to Aquarius Rail in North Yorkshire, resulting in a close-knit working environment that fostered collaboration among team members.

Under the visionary leadership of Scott Harrison, both companies consistently exhibit an unwavering commitment to upholding the highest safety standards within the rail industry. Every innovative product and solution is meticulously designed with safety as the paramount consideration, from railroad vehicles to manually propelled trolleys and lifting equipment.

With a seamless exchange of engineering knowledge and resources, the combined efforts of the whole team have resulted in the creation of groundbreaking product developments that not only enhance rail maintenance efficiency but also markedly reduce manual handling, thereby minimising the risk of accidents and injuries.

The team works together to align product ranges across Permaquip and Aquarius Rail, offering customers the most comprehensive and innovative rail maintenance products. The impact of the team's products and solutions on rail operations cannot be overstated, significantly enhancing the overall efficiency and safety of railway networks.

In conclusion, Permaquip and Aquarius Rail stand out as exemplars of teamwork, innovation, and unwavering dedication within the rail industry. Their shared vision and commitment to safety have not only elevated their own operations but have also contributed to the advancement of the entire rail maintenance sector. I wholeheartedly endorse their nomination for the Rail Team of the Year award, firmly believing that their outstanding achievements, driven by the exceptional dynamics of their entire team, make them eminently deserving of this prestigious honour.“
