What our Clients Say about us:

Pearsons Engineering Services have been providing track maintenance, minor works and consultancy services to GB Railfreight Ltd for over two years, during which time they have proved to be a reliable supplier delivering a consistently good standard of work. David Morgan, GB Railfreight Ltd
Just a couple of lines to thank you for your level of service we get from PES here at Stourton Depot. The engineers are always very professional and receptive to site inductions and procedures.
I always feel reassured after a visit that all is well with the track on site. We are an extremely busy site and service like we get from yourselves means I can concentrate on other things knowing that track is in good hands.
Best Regards,
John. John Beard, Stourton
