Founded in 2007, Alma Rail provides track engineering services, including track inspections, repairs, installation of new track, track drainage, railway-related civil engineering and rail-related building work. The majority of its activities are on privately owned and leased rail infrastructure throughout the UK, with a small proportion of its work carried out on Network Rail infrastructure. Finance was sought from Beach Point Capital in order to allow the purchase of the majority of Alma Rail shares from the original owners, by the RDCP Group. Obtaining finance for the transaction has allowed Alma Rail Ltd to gain the benefits and security of becoming part of a much larger group.
The business is now seeing benefits from shared functions, especially in financial management and analysis, allowing the Alma Rail management team to analyse the areas in which it is most profitable and dedicate time and effort into these areas. Going forward, it seeks to build the business further, attracting new clients and offering additional services to existing clients
