PBH Rail strengthens growing team with new appointment

PBH Rail is continuing its expansion with another new addition to the team. Liane Kesley has joined the company as a Compliance Assistant, bringing a wealth of experience from the construction and oil sectors.

Liane joins from OneSubsea, where she spent two years as Tender Coordinator for Oil & Gas. At PBH Rail, Liane will be instrumental in ensuring that all training requirements across the business are current and assist in preparing the company for compulsory compliance audits, including, Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme (RISQS), and ISO 45001.

Holding an NVQ qualification in Business and Administration, Liane’s career path originally saw her train and qualify as a Dental Nurse. After six years, Liane transferred her exceptional attention to detail and organisational skills to a new challenge within the construction sector for 10 years before joining OneSubsea.

She said: “I’m incredibly happy to be joining PBH Rail. I’d heard great things about the company, so I was excited when the opportunity came up. The team here has been very welcoming, and I have been able to assist in upcoming audit preparation, as well as updating training requirements.”

Mark Bonner, Managing Director, adds: “We are thrilled to welcome Liane to our team. She joins us at a very exciting time for the business, with the launch of our new Civils division, which has led to growth and new opportunities.

“Liane’s meticulous organisational skills and commitment to compliance will underpin our operational efficiency and help us to uphold our standards and continue to deliver the best service in rail infrastructure.”
Headquartered in York, PBH Rail Group was established in 2003, working exclusively on rail projects for clients across the UK and internationally.

Following a successful year in 2023, which saw the group’s annual turnover increase by 10 per cent to £11 million, the company introduced a new Civils division in May to sit alongside the existing Survey, overhead line equipment services (OLE), and Permanent Way teams.

The introduction of the new Civils division has paved the way for a raft of new appointments, including Gary Robson, Managing Director of Civils, and most recently Lin Lee, who joined PBH last month as Principal Geotechnical Engineer alongside Steve Scott, who joins the new division as Technical Director.
