Pullman Rail recently welcomed Mark Hooper, Deputy Minister for Transport, to its Cardiff facility, a visit that underlined the company’s growing importance to the Welsh rail supply chain.
Managing Director Mark Parker hosted the visit, which gave the Deputy Minister a first-hand look at Pullman Rail’s engineering capabilities, from complete bogie overhauls to full vehicle refreshes and heavy maintenance programmes serving fleets from across the industry.
Discussions also touched on Pullman Rail’s wider diversification strategy and the tangible benefits it stands to bring to the Welsh economy, a timely conversation as Wales continues to invest in the future of its transport infrastructure.
It’s encouraging to see political engagement at this level with the rail supply chain.
Visits like this matter, they put real, skilled, hands-on work in front of the people shaping transport policy.
