AN electrical compliance company near Fareham has won a contract with the largest rail operator in the UK.

TUV Product Service, which is based at Titchfield and employs 150 staff in the UK and 9,000 worldwide, is providing testing, consultancy and certification services to English Welsh & Scottish Railway.

Doug Roffey, fleet projects manager at EWS, said it had hired TUV because it "clearly demonstrated specialist expertise".
