In the 10-year period since privatisation freight activity has increased from 13.3 billion net tonne kilometres to 22.1 billion (2005/6), an increase of 66%. The number of train operators now available is allowing users to run tendering competitions, which has led to improved efficiency and reduced costs.
Organising rail freight requires a thorough knowledge of the product characteristics and a high level of inter-personal skills to interpret the part played in the supply chain. Successful initiatives often involve significant capital investment and associated contracts to support project costs.
FCP offers access to leading professionals in the field who have a strong track record in organising competitive tendering, assessing bid, and delivering long term contracts to protect the value of investment in rail facilities. We also have a deep understanding of the business model necessary for successful entry into the market.
We are always willing to provide an initial assessment of client proposals before any formal contract for the provision of consultancy or freight forwarding services are agreed.
