PBH Rail steams ahead with Civils success

A York-headquartered rail engineering specialist is celebrating a strong year of growth following the success of a new division.

PBH Rail Group has marked the first anniversary of its Civils division, which has achieved an impressive £500,000 turnover in its first year of operation. 

The division was launched following the appointment of Gary Robson as managing director for Civils and has quickly grown into a six-strong team with 36 completed projects and a healthy forward pipeline.

Initially created to meet rising demand for civil-related design work across PBH Rail’s existing teams, including Survey, Overhead Line, Systems Engineering and Permanent Way, the Civils division has since evolved into an independent division, delivering consultancy and design work for both new and established clients.

Gary said: “Reflecting on the past year, and how far the Civils division has come is incredible. 

“A team that started out with just me has grown into a team of six, including a technical director and a principal geotechnical engineer with a broad range of skills and experience between us.

“Over the past year, the team has delivered a broad spectrum of projects from small temporary works commissions, feasibility studies at rail depots, drainage schemes and currently a complex platform remediation project at Limehouse Station in London.

“Looking ahead, we are committed to growing the Civils division organically over the next five years and continuing to deliver excellence while fostering a sustainable, people-focused approach to expansion.”

Founded in 2003, PBH Rail Group works exclusively on rail infrastructure projects across the UK and internationally. 

The group now employs 96 people across its five divisions, reflecting steady expansion and growing demand for its expertise within the rail engineering sector.

Mark Bonner, managing director at PBH Rail, added: “We are incredibly proud of what the Civils division has achieved in just 12 months. 

“To be contributing to nationally significant projects so early in its journey speaks volumes about the talent and determination of the team here at PBH. 

“We’re excited to continue building on this success.”
