The Martin Group of Companies (est. 1976) provides highways, waste recycling, engineering, and fencing and forestry services to central and local government and to large construction companies. With annual sales of c£250 million, a workforce of over 1,350 and eighteen locations across the UK, we are a national business., In past years the Company has worked for many of the leading Civil Engineering Contractors, together with the Highways Authorities, Ministry of Defence and British Coal. Additionally, HW Martin as a group, have, amongst their list of clients, contracts with Highways England, Network Rail, HS2 to provide on-going services.
Since 1996, Fencing and Forestry has been concentrating much of its resources on the Railway Industry and has steadily increased its share of work until it now works as the principle fencing contractor on over three quarters of the railway network.
To do this, the Company has built up a work force skilled in erecting fences to the appropriate parts of BS1722, and fully trained in operating safely within the railway environment.
In 2000, the Company began to undertake tree surgery and tree clearance for the Railway Industry, moving into full lineside vegetation control in 2002 when the Company won a joint contract to control vegetation and carry out fencing renewals in the northwest of England for Railtrack Northwest.
Since that time, the Company had slowly increased its share of Vegetation Management contracts in the railway industry and is currently operating on over three fifths of the railway network.
