Renovation of existing fleets can offer a wide range of possibilities, emphasised Neil Bates, director of Creactive Design, in his presentation to the Golden Spanners conference.
Creactive’s aims are to help businesses succeed through innovation, sector experience, customer knowledge, design and engineering. The company works across a broad range of sectors, and engages in projects where it feels it can add value. Renovation of rolling stock forms a significant part of this, but Mr Bates said that in this area there needs to be a degree of common sense realisation – proposals need to be commercial, realistic and deliverable.
