Chevron Traffic Management Limited has announced the acquisition of Shift Traffic Events Limited.

Shift is headquartered in Scunthorpe and specialises in traffic management within the events and utilities sectors. It will help Chevron to expand their existing capabilities in these service areas, alongside other specialisms like Digital Services and Arboriculture.

Announcing the acquisition, the Chevron Group CEO Tim Cockayne commented: “This is an exciting opportunity for Chevron Traffic Management to access additional expertise for the work we undertake in the utilities and events sectors.”

Shift Traffic Events employs over 150 people and has depots in Scunthorpe and Essex. Chevron Traffic Management has 30 depots across the UK, including one in Scotland which operates as Class One Traffic Management.

Chris Morley, MD of Shift Traffic Events, added: “This is a fantastic opportunity to combine the strengths of both businesses and to allow Shift to provide an enhanced service for our existing client base. This acquisition represents a key milestone in our history and will secure the long-term growth of our business. We are really excited to be part of the Chevron Group and are looking forward to the future together.”

Chevron Traffic Management is part of the Chevron Group of companies, which includes Chevron Green Services, Chevron Green Consultancy, Class One Traffic Management and Highway Resource Solutions (HRS).

Chris continued: “We are always looking for ways to improve the service offering to our clients and I believe digitalisation is the way forward. Chevron TM, together with HRS, have been leading the way in innovation and I am keen to explore how this can benefit our customers.”

The acquisition takes effect on 14 December 2021.

Thank you for your help. The works to the bridge were completed and great teamwork from both crews. I had a good view from the bridge and was very impressed by their work. Always said it....TM is an art form!

Please accept our thanks your team’s efforts on this project. Chevron have been brilliant, nothing has been too much to ask of you and we have delivered to programme despite the complexities of working at these junctions. Look forward to working with you in the future, I think it’s forged a good relationship between us.

Can I please express my thanks on behalf of everyone at Kier for the exceptional aptitude and attitude shown by one of your site teams who were engaged in a recent local community project. As with any town centre closure there were some ‘challenges’ thrown at the crew but their attitude and commitment to the safety of the children, parents and support groups was second to none. It’s lovely to be able to write this reference to your colleagues, please pass on my most sincere thanks.

Area 3 ASC- Emergency Narrow Lane Scheme, M27 J12

Another great success for Area 3. To turn this around in such a short space of time due to the nature of the repair and the location is a credit to you and your teams. Well done!

A404 Resurfacing

Could I say a big thank you to yourselves and to all your crews which were on site at the A404 Resurfacing scheme last night. I have spoken to the Tarmac site supervisor from the Chieveley depot this morning who was very appreciative of how helpful and how good it was to work with the crew that was on site.
