Go Traffic Management Limited (GTM) Ltd

What Go Traffic Management Limited (GTM) Ltd does

Go Traffic Management Limited (GTM) is a UK-based specialist traffic management services provider founded in 2008 and headquartered in Worsley, Greater Manchester. Operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Network Plus Group (itself acquired by OMERS Private Equity in July 2022), GTM designs, installs, and maintains temporary traffic management solutions for projects ranging from small-scale utility works to major infrastructure schemes, serving utilities, local government, civil construction contractors, airports, and event organisers. Services are organised across six core areas — High Speed Solutions, Low Speed Solutions, Major Projects, Event Management, Pedestrian Site Management, and Project Management/Consultation & Design — and delivered from 21 regional depots nationwide by approximately 200 employees, with NHSS 12 A/B and 12D accreditations underpinning compliance for highway temporary traffic management.

The company's technology stack centres on three externally-developed but fleet-integrated systems: REMOS (Remotely Operated Mobile Solution, supplied under long-term agreement with SRL Traffic Systems) combines radar and CCTV for remote traffic-light operation via SRL's Control Centre, claiming 30-50% traffic-flow improvements; Eurolight portable traffic lights feature an Adaptive Detection System (ADS) using machine-learning algorithms and radar detectors to adjust signal phasing in real time; and TrackIt247 GPS trackers are fitted across the temporary traffic-light fleet to provide remote monitoring of battery, status, and location. GTM made a £2.8m capital commitment to SRL for Eurolight deployment in January 2021.

Commercially, GTM operates a quote-based, project-driven professional services model. Revenue is generated through long-term framework agreements and multi-year contracts (e.g., double Severn Trent water-network maintenance awards with terms up to 10 years, Coventry City Council single-supplier status), supplemented by competitive tenders for major projects (e.g., £350m Manchester Metrolink Trafford Park Line, completed seven months early in March 2020). The go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by 21 regional depots with local sales contacts, plus a co-located partnership with Speedy across its 200 depot bases (from January 2021) and proactive business development via website, LinkedIn, and industry bodies (TMCA, LCRIG).

Direct peers

• A-one+ Integrated Highway Services: Highways England joint venture delivering integrated traffic management, maintenance, and incident-response services on the strategic road network. A direct UK competitor on major highway schemes, with comparable NHSS-accredited capability and similar blue-chip client base.
• SRL Traffic Systems: UK traffic management equipment hire and technology provider, supplying portable signals, REMOS, and Eurolight. SRL is both a partner (technology supplier to GTM) and a competitor — both companies supply the same customers with overlapping traffic management solutions and equipment.
• Chevron Traffic Management: UK-based specialist traffic management provider offering temporary traffic control, lane closures, and event management. Now part of Ramudden Global, it is the most direct UK competitor to GTM in both high-speed and urban traffic management, with overlapping customer segments (councils, utilities, contractors).
• Carnell Support Services: Highways safety and traffic management specialist within the Amey group, providing temporary traffic management, road-markings, and barrier systems. A direct UK peer on highways and infrastructure projects, particularly within National Highways' supply chain.
• J McCann & Co: UK national traffic management and highways services contractor serving utilities, councils, and construction clients. Comparable operating model — multi-depot regional coverage, NHSS-accredited, and direct competitor on both framework and ad-hoc tenders across the UK.

Broad incumbents

• Kier Highways: Major UK highways services provider offering integrated maintenance, traffic management, and capital projects. Overlaps with GTM on large-scale framework tenders but operates at much broader scale across the full highways value chain.
• Colas: International infrastructure group with major UK highways and traffic-management presence (including stake in A-one+). Competes with GTM on highway schemes but is part of a global industrial group offering much broader services.
• Balfour Beatty: Global infrastructure group with significant UK highways and utilities exposure, often self-delivering traffic management on its own construction schemes. Competes with GTM on integrated project bids but operates at vastly larger scale.
• Amey: One of the UK's largest infrastructure services groups, providing highways maintenance, traffic management, and utilities services. Competes with GTM on bundled infrastructure tenders and is the parent of Carnell — its traffic management specialist arm.
• MGroup Services: UK infrastructure services group delivering highways, utilities, and traffic management through multiple operating brands. Direct overlap with GTM's utility-customer traffic management work and a competitor on water/utilities framework tenders.
