Adgistics are laureates of Network Rail's Partnership Awards - Information Technology
July 2010

Adgistics have been celebrated as highly commended laureates of Network Rail’s 2010 Partnership Awards. The Information Technology category distinguishes organizations that have used Information Technology to solve a problem for Network Rail.

Thousands of teams work on projects all over the country to help deliver goods, messages and people, making Network Rail a backbone of national infrastructure. Some activities get a lot of media coverage, like the Workington station works that connected the flood besieged community to the rest of the country.

The Network Rail Brand Centre helps commuters and station officers as much as company’s communication specialists. Whilst the latter have a powerful tool that helps keeping Network Rail’s marketing consistent and on the highest level, posters created with our system not just make stations look on-brand and tidy. Clear and visually noticeable posters attract attention and help people when they need them most. From closed platforms to escalator directions and moved pharmacies to cash machine locations- we help people find what they need stress free and in no time.

Adgistics is proud to have contributed to the vital task and be commended as a partner of Network Rail.
