RMS Locotec, a key player in industrial rail services, has centralised its operations in Chesterfield, a hub for rail-related businesses in Europe. The move merges teams and assets from various sites into an established transport and engineering facility, located near the grave of George Stephenson, a key figure in industrial rail development.
The company offers a range of services, including locomotive leasing, rolling stock maintenance, and engineering support for infrastructure across depots, ports, terminals, and quarries in the UK. RMS Locotec currently leases 16 shunting locomotives to a mix of passenger and freight operators, as well as clients in the logistics, shipping, and aggregate industries. Additionally, the company has six locomotives available for short-term or long-term hire.
With the relocation, RMS Locotec has appointed Lauren Parker as General Manager to oversee business growth and expansion into new markets. Parker, who joined the company in 2010, will focus on enhancing customer relationships and furthering the company’s reach in the industrial railway sector.
