Last week, Readypower Group announced the acquisition of Force One Ltd – a market leader in suction excavation services for the rail industry.

The move follows the recent acquisition of Readypower by Angel Trains in February 2022, which enhances our house service provision capabilities. 

Malcolm Brown, CEO of Angel Trains and Chairman of Readypower said, “This is an exciting new chapter for Readypower, and meets the growing demand for excavations involving buried infrastructure.”

Russell Jack, CEO of Readypower Group, said, “In line with the company’s clear objective of acquiring high-quality asset-led infrastructure services businesses, I am delighted to announce the acquisition of Force One. It is a business that we have greatly admired over the last few years.”

Declan Burke, Managing Director of Force One said, “We are all delighted to be joining the Readypower Group and look forward to working with them, along with Angel Trains, to drive forward the Readypower Force One suction excavation business to new and greater heights.”

It’s official! Our work to revolutionise overhead line monitoring has been awarded ‘Innovation of the Year’ by Rail Business Awards.

This award is a testament to the power of collaboration, and we’re proud to have worked with Transmission Dynamics, Network Rail, DB ESG and One Big Circle to make this happen.

Malcolm Brown, CEO of Angel Trains said “I’m extremely proud of what the team has achieved. This is innovation with a purpose and a solution that will deliver improved reliability and reduced costs for the rail system as a whole. It’s a great example of what cross-industry collaboration and private investment in innovation can deliver.”

Judges said “while the technology is novel, the most impressive innovation was the way the team had been brought together to play to their strengths.” And we couldn’t agree more!

We hope this recognition will inspire others in the industry to join forces and create innovative solutions for generations to come.
