MSSI Awarded Diamond Status Once Again on HS2

MSSI is delighted to share that we have been awarded Diamond status for Q2 2025 by SCS Railways, marking our fifth consecutive High-Speed Blue recognition for supplier excellence on the HS2 Main Works Lots S1 and S2.

This achievement reflects more than a year of consistently high performance across one of the UK’s most ambitious infrastructure projects, reinforcing McGinley’s reputation for reliability, quality, and delivery.

Suppliers are rigorously assessed each quarter by SCS Railways, with a score of 800 or above out of 1000 required to achieve High-Speed Blue

Diamond status is reserved for suppliers who sustain this level of performance for four or more consecutive quarters, an accolade achieved by very few.

At the heart of this success are our people. From the operatives working day in, day out on site, to the support staff ensuring smooth delivery behind the scenes, this recognition belongs to the whole team.

A special congratulations goes to Ciara Coleman, Labour Manager for the SCS Joint Venture, whose leadership, dedication, and hard work have been central to this continued recognition.

Earning Diamond status again demonstrates the strength of our people and the consistency of our delivery. Ciara, supported by our labour desk staff and site operatives, continues to set the standard through commitment and professionalism. My thanks and congratulations to all involved, you should be very proud of this achievement.” — David Pateman, Managing Director, MSSI

This latest award highlights our ongoing commitment to excellence, safety, and partnership with clients across the infrastructure sector.
