SIG Rail and Infrastructure to Use Maximum Efficiency
Mark Fyfe, UK Infrastructure Manager at SIG plc, heads up the SIG Rail & Infrastructure service and acts as the main contact for customers. Mark is responsible for identifying where the alliances collaborative knowledge can be best applied to an individual project and how to maximise efficiency in managing the supply chain throughout the project on behalf of customers.
Mark said: I’m very excited to see the Rail & Infrastructure service come to fruition after many months of planning, and we are thrilled with the reception is has received following the launch.
The concept cut its teeth on the Crossrail project, Mark explained, where a similar alliance-led approach helped deliver multi-million pounds worth of products to the project. It was considered such a massive success that we decided to roll it out on a larger scale to ensure we could provide similar efficiencies to customers across the civil engineering sector.
