Speedy signs £6m deal with Tube Lines

Speedy has signed a two-year/£6m sole supplier agreement with Tube Lines, the company maintaining and upgrading the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines on the London Underground.

Under the deal Speedy will provide Tube Lines with a range of tools and equipment including lifting gear, accommodation, communications solutions and bespoke training packages. When required it will also provide specialist equipment such as the acoustic shroud recently supplied for overnight work taking place near the Ritz hotel. 

Philip Constable, Tube Lines’ head of distribution services, said his company has been impressed with Speedy’s service levels, product range, training offering and commitment to health and safety.  “Its environmental and sustainability initiatives were also an important factor in our decision, as we are committed to promoting best practice in this area - Speedy will be using its electric ‘Modec’ vehicles to transport additional equipment and tools to site when required.”
