Well done Booths. Small companies are the backbone of our economy. And well done HS2 for taking the time to encourage the smaller businesses. 👌

infrastructure projects in what ever form they take are massively important far beyond the scope of the project in this case H2 railway line

Love it when they showcase a company and some dude is welding with no gloves on.

It's a shame that it went to a company that went bump. Wiped all there depts and started again.

Shame we don't actually need the train and it's a complete waste of money. It's actually sickening knowing that the money isn't being spent on the NHS or the rest of the railway network. At least if they were just building doors it wouldn't be for a train that will only be used by super rich people.
