Overview

Carnell Support Services Ltd (Carnell), provide specialist maintenance of transport infrastructure assets, in particular on the strategic roads network, to public and private sector clients in the UK.

Carnell have their Headquarters in Penkridge, Staffordshire^[1], with regional offices located in Cuerden, Lancashire and Harlow, Essex.

History

Founded in 1992 by current Chief Executive Darren Nelson and school friend James Carney, the company was originally incorporated as Carnell Contractors Ltd. undertaking communications cable installation on England's motorways.

After looking for opportunities to grow the business, Carnell completed their first contract on the rail network in 1999.

As a departure from their traditional activities, in 2002 Carnell developed a machine capable of refurbishing and reinforcing roadside filter drains (French drains). This technique was independently tested by the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) ^[2] and quickly adopted by term maintenance providers in England, Scotland and Wales.

2005 saw the introduction of TechMACs to manage the communications infrastructure on England's Highways. Carnell were a Framework contractor to Telent who won the first commission in the West-Midlands.

In 2009, the company changed its name to Carnell Support Services Ltd, reflecting the wider scope of services they offered.

The A19 Ramp Metering project completed in 2011 was Carnell's first as principal contractor to the Highways Agency. Carnell were responsible for installing the full ramp metering system including both the infrastructure and signalling works at 5 entry slip roads on the A19 and A66 near Middlesbrough.

Divisions

The current operational disciplines are split into four distinct divisions which are Drainage, Infrastructure, Technology and Water Management. The majority of the works are undertaken in high-risk environments and so there is a strong emphasis on safe working practices which has seen Carnell collect RoSPA Gold Awards in 2010 and 2011.
