National Highways regional operations director for the Midlands, Andrew Jinks, said: \u201cOur roads are among the safest in the world and partnerships like this help to maintain the high standards that we set ourselves and our partners.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy working more closely with our supply chain partners on routine maintenance, repairs, and incident response, we\u2019re able to work more effectively, identifying innovative ways of working and provide the best possible quality of service to road users.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re delighted that Colas has been awarded this contract and look forward to working with them, driving improvement and strengthening our regional expertise.\u201d<\/p>\n

The contract has a clear carbon reduction plan, to significantly reduce the carbon footprint<\/a> of operations from day one.<\/p>\n

Colas also has an established track record in delivering Social Value plans that are aligned to local strategic requirements, and brings strong local knowledge to the contract, supported by the Global Colas SA international expertise.<\/p>\n

\u2018Reducing carbon emissions to achieve net zero\u2019<\/h3>\n

Carl Fergusson, CEO of Colas Ltd stated: \u201cEveryone at Colas is delighted that we are continuing to build on our successful relationship with National Highways with this new, significant, contract award.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are looking forward to establishing a highly effective collaborative working relationship in Area 9 with National Highways and our supply chain partners as part of the contract, and in working towards the common goal of reducing carbon emissions to achieve net-zero<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
