The Crown Group: From Local Beginnings to Continued Growth

For over a decade, The Crown Group have been making a major contribution to the railway industry, consistently striving for excellence and gaining a trusted reputation by providing outstanding rail support services across the UK.

Expanding The Crown Group

The railway industry is notorious for leading the way in innovation, sustainability and connectivity, which have been key drivers at The Crown Group, especially during the company’s admirable expansion. In recent years, The Crown Group’s growth has been truly inspiring, as almost 500 people are employed, demonstrating an impressive increase of nearly 450 employees since 2021. This expansion is potentially leading to another new premises for staff, to accommodate the successful growth of the business, that The Crown Group plans to expand even further in 2025.

Awarded SILVER NSAR Audit

The Crown Group has a strong commitment to success, and in recent months, proudly achieved the prestigious SILVER NSAR Audit award, reflecting the highest standards being upheld in operations across all employees. This milestone not only highlights The Crown Group’s current accomplishments but additionally sets a strong foundation for future growth and success in the upcoming years.

Supporting the Community To support the local community, The Crown Group are actively involved with several charities, such as: Save the Children, Cheshire Without Abuse and The Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity. To raise money for Save the Children, in December, The Crown Group participated in Christmas Jumper Day, enjoying a day filled with fun, treats, and most importantly, giving back!

In addition to raising funds for Save the Children, in January, The Crown Group have also raised a substantial amount of money for Cheshire Without Abuse. The Crown Group’s De-Vegetation Team collected a total of 21 Christmas trees around Crewe, Sandbach, Nantwich, Stoke on Trent and Alsager areas, with all proceedings going to this amazing charity. To further support Cheshire Without Abuse, The Crown Group also hosted a charity bike ride on February 28th and raised £2,395! Employees united to cycle the perimeter of Cheshire, covering the equivalent of 200 miles on a Peloton bike at their office! More recently, The Crown Group partnered with Mercury Lifts to host a spectacular Charity Ball on 29th March at Cranage Hall. The event was a resounding success, raising an impressive £8,024.78 for Cheshire Without Abuse.

The Crown Group also support The Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity monthly, due to wanting to emphasise the importance of seeking the mental health support required among employees when working within the railway and construction industry.

Chris Steele, Managing Director, stated,

“Supporting local charities is extremely important to us. We take great pride in being able to contribute and make a positive impact.”

Goals for the Year Ahead

The year ahead is filled with exciting opportunities for The Crown Group, particularly with the continued growth of the railway industry. In 2025, we plan to expand into a larger office at Marshfield Bank, Crewe, allowing us to scale our operations and strengthen our supply network. We are also exploring ways to further embed sustainable

projects into our work, while maintaining our commitment to giving back to the community, supporting Cheshire’s growth and development as a whole.
