The countdown is on ⏱️🚂
Just over a month until the Running the Railways 2026!

We’re now just over a month away from members of the VA team taking part in Running the Railways 2026 in support of Centre 56.

For those who don’t know, Running the Railways is an incredible event organised by Alex Rigby to raise vital funds for families across the Liverpool area who have experienced domestic abuse and crisis situations.

The 24-hour event will see a different business carry the baton each hour along the 5K route between Freshfield and Hightown stations. Every hour, the route reverses and the next team heads back in the opposite direction.

📍 Start: Friday 26th June
📍 Finish: Saturday 27th June

We’re proud to be co-sponsoring this event alongside some fantastic businesses. If you can help by donating, sharing this post, or even coming down on the day to support, it would mean a lot. Every contribution goes towards a truly amazing cause.

A fresh new look for the fleet👌

We’re pleased to showcase our latest van graphics, designed and installed by our trusted local specialists at GR Labels ( https://www.grlabels4signs.co.uk/ )

The brief was clear:
✔ Incorporate our new branding, colours, font and tagline
✔ Ensure full highways compliance with reflective chevrons and safety striping
✔ Effectively position our accreditations for visibility and credibility
✔ Keep the design practical and professional for day-to-day site work

The result strikes the perfect balance between branding and awareness with safety and compliance.

Our vehicles are a huge part of our presence on-site and on the road, so it was important that the graphics not only looked sharp but also clearly represented who we are and what we stand for.

Big thanks to the team at GR Labels for delivering exactly what we envisioned👏

If you see us on the roads, give us a wave👋

✅ If you’ve got an upcoming project requiring specialist working at height support, get in touch with the team to see how we can help.

We’re proud to be supporting Running the Railways 2026💛

So, what’s it all about?🤔

This unique endurance challenge will see superhuman Alex Rigby take on the extraordinary task of running a 5K every hour, on the hour, for 24 hours straight, alongside teams of runners (including some of our very own VAthletes). It’s a huge physical and mental challenge, all in aid of raising vital funds for Centre 56.

For over 50 years, Centre 56 has provided a safe and supportive environment for children aged 2–12 who have experienced domestic abuse or crisis situations. Alongside specialist childcare, they offer families stability, practical help, and a place to begin rebuilding during some of life’s toughest moments.

With such an inspiring cause, and our close friends at Clan Contracting supporting as the headline sponsor, we knew we had to get involved. We’re proud to announce that we are one of the gold sponsors of the event and some of the team will also be taking part in the run!

📍We’ll be gathering our team in Hightown to run the second leg at 6pm on 26th June, with Clan handing over the baton as we head back towards Freshfield railway station. The dream team back at it again!

If you’re nearby, come down and show your support. It would mean a lot 🙌

And if you can, please like, share, comment, or even better, donate! 💛

Your support helps provide life-changing services such as:
💛 Specialist childcare for ages 2–12
☕ Coffee mornings for parents and carers
🚌 Fun day trips for children
🌈 Access to essentials like clothes, food, toiletries, and period products via the Rainbow Room
🥰 Ongoing care, understanding, and support for families in need

Let’s bring the community together and change as many lives as we can.

A dam beautiful day for it😉
📍 Vyrnwy, Wales

It’s safe to say projects with views like this have the whole management team competing for site visits…

Works are now well underway at Vyrnwy. Having smashed through the downstream elevation survey (all 358lm of it😅) the team are already moving into the next phase of works.

What does that include?🤔
👉 Using our specialist rope access team and safe systems we will be carrying out masonry and mortar repairs to the eight turret roofs located along the dam wall.

Why rope access?🤔
👉 It allows us to complete the work with minimal disruption to the structure and its surroundings, leaving no trace other than a completed repair. These works are all part of maintaining/prolonging the life of this iconic structure.

As always, a huge shoutout to our on-site team for their outstanding work in protecting the safety and integrity of this Grade I listed structure👏

We’ll be sharing more stunning visuals as the team progresses through the works!
