Submitting...Natalie visited the company – which is the UK’s only remaining railway wagon manufacturer – to learn more about the work WH Davis does and meet its workers, many of whom live in the local area.
The company has recently secured a €44 million contract with Irish Rail to supply 150 freight wagons – its first export order in 20 years.
Backed by the UK’s export credit agency, UK Export Finance (UKEF), the deal could grow to 400 wagons under a 10-year framework agreement.
