On Wednesday 10th May 2023, during the Railtex exhibition, Managing Director of Tidyco, James Tidy, signed an agreement with French firm ENAG SAS, to maintain and overhaul their rail-specific products in the UK.
The contract comprised of an agreement to sell but more importantly, to maintain ENAG’s range of battery chargers, discharge units and other equipment exclusively for the rolling stock industry within the UK. The French company produces a number of energy conversion systems for a variety of industries and was founded in 1946.
Tidyco already possesses the workforce and skillsets required to maintain these types of products, which are already owned by many of the UK based train manufacturers and operators. Therefore, it is a natural progression in the Rail Overhaul story for Tidyco to be chosen as the company to maintain and overhaul them on behalf of ENAG.
James Tidy, Managing Director of Tidyco, had this to say: “Our Rail division has worked tirelessly to develop our Rail overhaul facility into what it is today, a diverse, skills driven facility capable of dealing with a wide range of overhaul and repair projects. Being a UK representative to maintain these products for ENAG within the rail sector is a testament to this. Signing this agreement at Railtex is also very significant as it was at the last Railtex in Birmingham, where we first met Denise and ENAG in 2021”.
Denise Barry, Export Sales Manager for ENAG, followed up with this: “I discovered Tidyco when I came to Railtex in 2021. We were looking for a reliable and reputable company with the ideal capabilities who we could partner with to establish a base that could look after these products within Britain and Tidyco really ticked all those boxes”.
