Complementary strengths, shared vision: Telent and Westcotec announce strategic partnership

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.

Built on aligned values, a strong cultural fit, and a shared purpose, the collaboration will provide local authorities and contractors with smarter, more integrated solutions for road safety and network management.
