This week on Highways Voices, the Highways News team heads to Norfolk to visit industry leader Westcotec and uncover the secrets to building a successful business. The episode also tackles road safety, showing how smarter technology that educates drivers, not just tougher enforcement can play a vital role in reducing collisions.
Managing Director, Chris Spinks and Sales Director, Olly Samways chat about their business, and the interesting way it’s owned and run, and how their products – designed, built, and tested in Britain – are using great solutions, from off-grid power to award-winning collision prevention.
You’ll hear how Westcotec’s technology has demonstrably reduced serious collisions in real-world projects, why local manufacturing, employee ownership, and sustainable design matter for long-term industry resilience and their ideas for the business case for investing in safety technology that delivers measurable returns compared to the cost of road fatalities.
In addition, you’ll hear about an 1,800-mile road trip being undertaken to raise money for disadvantaged people and those with disabilities to experience the benefits of sport; keeping them active and happy while improving their health and skills for the future.
