Wincham-based Select Plant Hire has almost doubled the size of its Cheshire depot and workforce after winning a contract to supply eco-cabins at HS2 construction sites.
HS2 today began the search for a specialist contractor to build the high speed rail project’s central control centre and maintenance depot, which will create around 500 long-term jobs in Birmingham’s Washwood Heath.
HS2 Ltd’s latest reporting figures show it has smashed the 500 new apprentice starts milestone, with East Birmingham resident, Darren, becoming the 500th apprentice to play a part in delivering Britain’s new railway.
HS2 today revealed the final design for the headhouse that will provide emergency access to the new high speed railway’s tunnels as they approach Euston station.
