Transportation

Transportation is the lifeblood of economies. Rail, highways, freight, and passenger networks face record demand. And record pressure. Ageing infrastructure, new sustainability targets, and an intensifying skills gap mean transport leaders can’t afford delays. That’s where Morson Edge keeps your workforce moving.

The transport and logistics sector is at a crossroads

Challenges in the Transportation Sector

  • Over 35,000 rail workers will retire by 2030, creating a looming skills gap that can’t be ignored. At the same time, the cost of attracting top talent has jumped 65% in just a year.
  • Safety and compliance leave no room for error. Every hire must be fully certified and site-ready. 
  • National Highways and major rail frameworks operate on multi-billion-pound schedules, with no margin for delays. 
  • Turnover rates are hitting 25% in some roles. Retaining the right people has never been more critical.
