During STEL’s last meeting to review the ISO 9001 2015 Quality Management System, in December 2020, we received top marks with 0 major Non Conformances, no minors and 0 notes for areas for reflection. This shows STEL is a well trusted, quality business to work and trade with.

The ISO 9001 Quality Management System is an internal standard which shows how a business can show their abilities to consistently provide quality services and products to their customers which meet regulatory requirements.

Specialised Tools & Equipment have remained open throughout the whole of the Global Coronavirus Pandemic, with no staff furloughed or made redundant. STEL promote Tools & Equipment primarily to the Rail Industry, both underground & overground. Maintenance of the Rail track is imperative. STEL is a key supplier to the Network Rail & London Underground Maintenance teams which has given the need for the company to remain 100% operational.

On Wednesday 11^th November at around 2:45am a fright train derailed in Sheffield Train Station leaving significant damage and five out of the eight platforms closed. The train from Hope Cement Works, derailed 11 tanker wagons while passing through the station. Luckily, no one was injured, and all the trains were replaced by buses from Sheffield to Nottingham, York, and Doncaster for the 5 days the train was being removed.

Specialised Tools & Equipment were needed to supply Network Rail with tools and equipment to quickly attend the scene and begin assessing the damage. Due to STEL having all the equipment in stock, the train was promptly moved from the tracks and the damage to the signalling system and tracks were fixed, so trains could resume running normally.
