Marlborough Highways achieves HERS Gold status

  • By Marlborough Highways

Marlborough Highways is delighted to announce that it has been accredited with the Highway Electrical Registration Scheme (HERS) Gold award. Granted by the Highway Electrical Association (HEA) on 13 February 2024, the status demonstrates Marlborough’s commitment to excellence, and is a testament to the company’s high standards in the delivery of highways electrical services.

Spanning all manner of electrical engineering in the highways sector, including streetlighting, EV charging, solar infrastructure, and more, the HERS scheme is the industry benchmark for quality. Comprising 246 registered organisations nationwide in the UK, Marlborough is now just one of 13 companies to boast the coveted double logo Gold status, signifying the operator’s exceptional levels of experience and expertise.

The upgrading of Marlborough’s HERS status from standard to Gold follows an in-depth accreditation process, in which the organisation demonstrated the ability to deliver first-class electrical engineering solutions, while operating with the utmost safety. Marlborough also needed to prove that its QHSE processes, site equipment and training facilities are industry beating, and that there is a commitment to continuous improvement and investment in its workforce.

The Gold announcement comes as Marlborough expands its range of highways electrical services, with a growing streetlighting and electrical infrastructure division, delivering innovative schemes across London and the South East in support of it’s local authority contracts.

Marlborough’s Managing Director, Matthew Revell, said, “Our companywide HERS Gold award is a credit to the hard work and dedication of our electrical team, and I am proud that Marlborough has been recognised in this way. Our talented operatives on the ground are carrying out fantastic work every day, with our cutting-edge technology and incredible industry know-how, helping us to deliver cost-effective and sustainable electrical engineering solutions.”

“One of the things I value most is their very collaborative and transparent team culture. It makes a big difference to have a contractor that wants to work closely with us and is supportive and responsive. With Marlborough, I get a team who are attentive, work collaboratively and honestly with me and don’t lose focus on delivering first class communications and compliance.”
Carly Norris, Project Manager Operations, Hackney Council
“From the design stage, Marlborough has been fundamental in delivering the Broad Lane Square improvements scheme. During the works, not only did the team manage to keep to the programme, but they went the extra mile to ensure attention to detail and came up with innovative solutions to address issues encountered on site. My thanks on behalf of Haringey goes out to Marlborough for their dedication to deliver.”
Dana Rasheed, Project Manager, Haringey Council
“Working alongside our Term Service Contractor Marlborough Highways, we successfully completed renovations to the Crowstone Footbridge. The designs were provided by Marlborough, and the work was unique. The scheme was completed to budget and ahead of its programme duration.”
Neil Handley, Senior Engineer, Southend-on-Sea City Council
“I would like to thank you and your team for your efforts, the Marlborough crews were professional, courteous, and hard working all day and ensured the event went without a hitch. You and the team were a credit to the company, demonstrating commitment and support to the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.”

“I just wanted to say what a pleasure it has been to work with Marlborough Highways over the last six months. The quality of work is superb, and there has been some excellent collaboration between Milestone and Marlborough to complete, what at times, has been quite a challenging scheme. I hope to work with Marlborough on another project in the near future.”
Colin Hill, Schemes Manager, Milestone Infrastructure
“Marlborough worked with us in constructing a 1.3km cycle track. There were a number of technical difficulties to overcome, and their gifted foreman worked to propose some innovative solutions to the challenges we faced. The result is a facility that the locals are proud of, providing walkers and cyclists with alternative access to the hospital and nearby school. The scheme was a lot of hard work, but well worth it.”
Rob Venables, NEC Project Manager, Essex County Council
“Marlborough attracts people who take care and have pride in their work. Several gangs of Operatives worked tirelessly for six months to reconstruct drainage networks, lay more than 3km of high quality bespoke granite kerbs and granite channels blocks to ensure positive drainage. The technical compliance, attention to detail and level of quality finish along the entire carriageway was exceptional”.
Mark Chiverrell, Technical Director, Project Centre
“We saw huge benefits in appointing Marlborough as our full service contractor and we’re impressed – they’ve delivered consistent high quality service and superior quality control across every project. Marlborough, provide us with a ‘one-stop’ shop solution – we get the same quality of service and better control across all aspects of the project.”
