Story Contracting has secured a Gold award on Network Rail's Route to Gold scheme for the second consecutive year.

The award acknowledges the hard work and commitment of the full Plant team over the last 12 months.

This positions Story as one of only four suppliers in the UK to be awarded Gold for ongoing engagement to the Network Rail's Plant Reliability Programme and commitment to developing improvements and solutions for the industry.

Tony Cook, Plant Director of Story Contracting, said: "This is a fantastic achievement that the whole Plant team can be proud of, as achieving Gold was one thing but the real challenge is to maintain this level of performance year-on-year. Although a lot of emphasis is placed on the reliability of our machines when working on-site, the importance of our staff behind the scenes can't be forgotten. The hard work of each person in the team can have a positive effect on our performance as a Plant supplier and it is great to see the team's efforts rewarded by achieving Gold for the second year in a row."


Jason Butterworth, CEO of Story Contracting added: "Retaining Gold is a great achievement for our Plant division and is testament to the hard work and commitment of the whole team since we first achieved the award 12 months ago. Our belief in being open and transparent in our operations and our commitment to 'Doing It Right' for our clients, customers and staff is at the heart of everything we do. This result recognises the hard work of the Story team and their dedication to working collaboratively with Network Rail and the wider industry."
