I\u2019m looking forward to working alongside the team and collaboratively with Highways England, building on the experience we\u2019ve gained through our Area 7 and Area 10 contracts.<\/p>\n

\u201cCovid has made the mobilisation on this contract challenging, but I\u2019m confident that we have all the processes in place to deliver the service effectively, efficiently and more importantly, safely from day one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Simon Boyle, head of service delivery in Highways England\u2019s Yorkshire and North East region, added: \u201cHighways England already has a great relationship with Amey thanks to the collaborative work we do with them in other parts of the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to start this new contract and to welcome their new teams to Yorkshire and Humberside.<\/p>\n

“We look forward to working with them to ensure a well-managed and well-maintained strategic road network for the benefit of all our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n
