Two of the highways sector’s most trusted names, Telent and Westcotec, have joined forces in a new partnership built around a shared mission - to make roads safer through smarter technology, seamless delivery, and service excellence.
With Westcotec’s UK-manufactured LED signage and complementary traffic safety technologies, combined with Telent’s nationwide infrastructure and service delivery expertise, this partnership is more than a commercial alignment. It’s a practical and future-focused response to growing industry demands.

It’s rare to find a partnership where values, vision, and purpose align so naturally. It’s a strategic partnership built on innovation, collaboration, and a shared commitment to safer roads. We’re both committed to service excellence, to our people, and to safer roads, and that gives customers confidence we’ll deliver.
