Back in January 2026 we set a target for Kent Group staff to collectively “Go the Distance” of the UK Rail network 9,848 miles (15,849 km), either by walking, running, cycling or any physical activity you participate in. Well, we are pleased to confirm that you have all smashed that target with 5 months to spare. What a fantastic achievement! The company have agreed to donate 50p for every mile of the challenge £4,924.00 (rounded up to £5,000.00), which will be donated

Kent PHK has recently completed the installation of one of Network Rail's newest autonomous drone facilities — only the third of its kind on the rail network and the first in Scotland.

From monitoring infrastructure conditions to supporting incid

Really proud to share that we passed our RISQS audit yesterday — covering Core, Sentinel, SSOW Planning, CDM and Principal Contractor Licensing — with zero NCRs and no observations.

The way our people embrace our systems and standards is what makes achievements like this possible. A sincere thank you to everyone involved — both those wh

As we wrap up our Q1 2026 project highlights series, we’re taking a moment to reflect on one final project that stands out. This week, we’re looking back at the final commissioning of the LNE Signalling Power Distribution Renewals (Doncaster to Scunthorpe) project. Awarded in September 2022 as the largest single contract in our company’s history, this project has been a significant journey — from early design through to delivery across the LNE route. Last weekend marked a
