Rail Is in Our DNA: 200 Years of Railway Heritage

As Britain's railway marks 200 years of connecting communities and powering progress, MFG Construction reflects on our own journey as we built from the ground up on rail infrastructure expertise.
Rail construction helped shape our business. In fact we can go further; it defined our standards. Standards that we uphold right across the business today.
Working alongside Network Rail and Northern, we learned that in an industry where safety, precision, and reliability are non-negotiable, you either deliver at the highest level, or you don't deliver at all.
From heritage station refurbishments where we preserved history while creating modern community facilities to complex platform redevelopments we've proven our capability across every aspect of rail infrastructure.
Mike Barker, Operations Director, said: "We built MFG on what we achieved in the rail industry, and those foundations remain solid today. Rail taught us discipline, precision, and the importance of getting it right the first time. When you've worked in environments where passenger safety depends on your work, that level of accountability never leaves you."
Stephen Price, Projects Director, added: "Platform redevelopment work is incredibly complex; tight possessions, multiple stakeholders, and millimetre-perfect accuracy. Our experience means we anticipate challenges before they arise. We understand the standards, we know the regulations, and we have the relationships with Network Rail and Northern that ensure smooth delivery.
“We’ve just finished a job at Stockport Railway Station and it’s achieved the highest standards and the feedback has been as we expected - flawless.”




Today, as investment in rail infrastructure accelerates, we're ready to expand our rail portfolio. Let’s be clear; we’re not trying to break into rail we're coming home to it. It’s in our DNA.
From Manchester and Birmingham, Liverpool to London, there’s station modernisation projects across the network and our track record speaks for itself. We've delivered in live operational environments.
We've met Network Rail's exacting standards. We've proven time and again that we're the delivery partner of choice.
Rail isn't just what we do. It's fundamental to our business.
