When plans change, your workforce partner needs to be ready to change with them.

We believe that being a good rail workforce partner is about much more than putting names on a rota. It starts with understanding the project, the programme and what our clients are trying to achieve. From there, it’s about making sure the right people, skills and competencies are in place to meet those requirements.

And we know that rail projects don't always go exactly to plan. Things can change, requirements shift, and resource needs can evolve quickly. That's why being responsive matters just as much as having a strong workforce in the first place.

But most importantly, it's about building relationships. Taking the time to understand our clients, communicating properly and being someone they can rely on when things change. Essentially, it’s about becoming an extension of our clients' teams, not simply another name on a timesheet.

If you're planning a project across the South West or South Wales and need a workforce partner you can rely on, then get in touch with us at [email protected]

Did you know that today marks World Mental Health Day?

We know that working in the rail industry can be both rewarding and demanding. From long shifts trackside to working in challenging environments and managing complex projects, the pressures can be real. That's why looking after our team's mental health is just as important as looking after their physical safety.

And for us, that means creating an environment where people feel able to speak openly, ask for help and know that they're supported. Encouraging open conversations makes it easier for people to speak up when they're struggling, while practical support means making sure our teams know where they can turn when they need it. It's also important that we're aware of the signs that someone might be struggling with stress, burnout or fatigue, whether they're working on site or in the office.

Mental health is part of workplace safety too. We don't always know what someone might be dealing with outside of work, which is why taking the time to check in can make a real difference. And by creating a culture where people feel supported, listened to and able to speak up, we can build stronger, safer teams. So let's keep the conversation going, not just on World Mental Health Day, but every day 🧡

Winter doesn't stop rail projects, but it does change how we prepare for them.

As we begin to head towards the colder months, the conditions teams work in can change quickly. Shorter daylight hours, wet and colder weather, poor ground conditions and more challenging site environments all need to be factored into project planning.

For us, winter readiness starts with making sure our teams are properly prepared before they arrive on site. That means planning workforce requirements carefully, making sure the right people with the right competencies are in place, and keeping communication open as conditions change.

It's also about looking after the people doing the work. From appropriate equipment and PPE to rest, welfare and fatigue management, small details can make a big difference when working through the winter months.

Which is why we work closely with our clients to understand what's coming up and make sure our teams are ready to meet the demands of the project, whatever the weather brings.

Clients often see the finished result… the completed platform, the upgraded infrastructure, or another project safely handed back. But behind every successful project, there's a huge amount happening before the first person even gets to site.

For us, that includes everything from:

📋 Workforce planning

👷 Recruitment and resourcing

🦺 Safety and compliance checks

💬 Site briefings and communication

🎓 Competency management

🚧 Coordinating the teams on the ground

Getting the right people in place isn't simply about filling a shift. It's about understanding the requirements of the project, making sure people have the right skills and competencies, and ensuring everyone arrives prepared to work safely. Then, of course, there's the team on site, the people putting all that planning into action every day.

We're proud of the people behind our projects, both in the office and out on site. As while the finished result might be what everyone sees, it's the people, planning and preparation behind it that help make it happen.

Great projects start with great people. Planning your next rail project? Let's talk about the people you’ll need to make it happen: [email protected]

As we head into the final few months of 2026, our attention is already turning towards the year ahead 👀

For many of our clients, plans are being developed, programmes are being scoped, and resource requirements are starting to take shape for 2027. So if you're currently looking ahead to new projects, planning upcoming works, or thinking about the workforce and civils support you'll need in the new year, now is a great time to start the conversation.

We provide skilled workforce, safety-critical support and civils delivery across the South West & South Wales, working alongside our clients to provide the right people and expertise when they're needed. As a proud North Somerset-based business, we're also passionate about creating opportunities closer to home. Wherever possible, we look to utilise local resource on local projects, helping to reduce travel, create opportunities for local people and build strong relationships within the communities where we work.

It's all part of our approach to delivering more than just the work in front of us, bringing together great people, strong partnerships and practical rail expertise to strengthen the regions we call home.

If you're scoping out works for the new year, then we'd love to hear about how we could support your plans. Get in touch with Dan Jacobs: [email protected]

We're delighted to have been featured in the latest issue of Rail Director magazine.

If you turn to page 86 you’ll be able to hear from our Director, Dan Jacobs, about the launch of Forza Rail earlier this year...

Dan shares how his early career helped shape the foundations of Forza, as well as some of the milestones we've reached in our first six months of trading, including achieving £1 million in turnover.

He also talks about the importance of building a business around the right people, and creating a company that is responsible, dependable and genuinely committed to supporting both our clients and our operatives. We know that trust isn't something that's assumed, it's something that's earned. And that's something we're determined to keep at the heart of Forza as we continue to grow, building a sustainable business and establishing ourselves as a trusted name within the rail industry for years to come.

A big thank you again to the team at Rail Director for featuring us and giving Dan the opportunity to share a little more about the story behind Forza.

What better way to round off the week than looking back on a few fantastic days in Kos celebrating the wedding of our brilliant Resource Manager, Casi Mansfield and his new wife, Lauren! 💍

After all the hard work Casi puts into keeping our teams, projects and resource on track, it was lovely to take some time away from our desks to celebrate such a special occasion together. And a great reminder that while we may work hard, it's just as important to make time out to celebrate the people who make up our team.

A huge congratulations to the happy couple from everyone at Forza Rail! Thank you again for letting us be part of such a special few days. We had a fabulous time celebrating with you both!

Here's to many happy years together! 🥂

We all use the railway, but it’s easy to forget just how much goes on behind the scenes to keep it moving.

Did you know that around 2,500 stations make up the UK rail network? With thousands of passenger trains run every day, connecting towns, cities and communities across the country. That’s a huge network to keep safe, operational and moving for 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

And behind every statistic is a team of skilled people keeping the railway moving. From safety-critical personnel and supervisors to civils teams working on the infrastructure itself, it takes experienced people on the ground to keep projects progressing safely and efficiently.

Which is where Forza Rail comes in. We provide a skilled, reliable workforce and civils support across the South West & South Wales, helping our clients deliver in some of the railway’s most demanding environments, because it’s important to remember that behind every journey, there’s a team making it happen.

As the days begin to get shorter and the nights get darker, fatigue becomes an even bigger challenge for those working in rail.

Long hours, night shifts and challenging working environments can all take their toll during the winter months, and fatigue can often creep in quietly.

That's when concentration can slip, and the risk of mistakes increases. Which is why fatigue management is about much more than simply having the right policies in place.

It's about making sure our people feel supported, listened to and able to speak up when something isn't right. From careful rostering and appropriate rest periods to regular check-ins and open conversations, we work to make sure our teams have what they need to stay safe, alert and ready for the job ahead.

For us, fatigue management isn't just about compliance. It's about looking after our people. We know that when our teams are properly supported, they’re in the best position to deliver safe, high-quality work, whatever the weather or season brings! 👷
