Eland Cables and Unipart Rail win Network Rail Bid

The decision follows more than a decade of successful joint working between cable distributor Eland Cables and engineering and logistics provider Unipart Rail ­ most notably on the West Coast Route Modernisation (WCRM) project.

With Network Rail framework supplier status, rail customers can benefit from competitive pricing, guaranteed stockholding and immediate availability on a huge range of rail cables and accessories ­ including Rail Signalling Cables and Rail Telecoms Cables. Eland Cables and Unipart Rails latest move serves to reinforce what is already a strong working relationship between the two companies. In a joint statement, Managing Directors Philip Brown and Graham Jackson said: The decision to collaborate over the Network Rail bid was not a difficult one to make. By combining Eland Cables supplier relationships, technical knowledge and sourcing expertise with Unipart¹s logistics and materials management experience, we can give rail customers more choice and even more competitive prices ­ while continuing to deliver fast turnaround times and a consistently high level of service.
