'Made in the North East' Awards 2025

 

Petards, the AIM quoted developer of advanced security, communication and
surveillance systems, is pleased to announce that Petards Rail received two
awards at the recent Insider 'Made in the North East' Awards 2025.

 

At the awards ceremony, Petards Rail was announced as the winner of both the
Automotive, Aerospace and Rail Award and the Sustainable/Ethical Manufacturer
Award.

 

Judges cited the company's web-based platform for editing, validating,
approving, and distributing its Automatic Selective Door Operation (ASDO)
Database wirelessly, as revolutionary in the way it enables train fleets to
respond to infrastructure changes.

 

In awarding the company Sustainable/Ethical Manufacturer, the judges felt
Petards Rail's ambitious sustainability targets for 2030, its commitment to
maintaining EcoVadis Platinum rating and its ongoing improvement across all
ESG pillars made it the stand-out candidate.

 

In addition, Petards Rail was also shortlisted for Manufacturing Future Talent
and one of its apprentices, Logan Cook, was shortlisted as Apprentice of the
Year.

 

Insider's Made in the North East Awards 2025 showcased the quality products
and services that manufacturing and engineering companies in the North East
supply, and the skilled people that work for them. As winners of these
regional awards Petards Rail will be invited to the national 'Made in the UK'
Awards to be held in Liverpool in June.

enables interrogation of historical data to identify trends, analyse incidents
and make informed decisions regarding rail fleet performance.

 

Petards have developed its PTeye solution incorporating the latest in AI-ready
technology, to prevent passenger "trap and drag" incidents before train
dispatch.
