FirstClass Safety & Control A Fresh Approach to Rail Depot Operations Rising to the challenge of starting a new business following the management buyout of the Controls Division of Beck and Pollitzer in 2017, Mark Meyrick, Managing Director of FCSC Ltd, is confident that the industry is welcoming the fresh approach to depot safety that FirstClass are bringing to the table. With the main focus of the business being on continuing to deliver safe, affordable, efficient solutions to its customers in many industries, continual improvement is at the heart of everything FCSC does. Alongside several industry-leading depot safety and control technologies being showcased at the NEC during the Railtex exhibition in May 2019, FCSC is looking forward to meeting many existing and new industry specialists over the course of the busy three days. With 18 years of depot safety experience behind him Mark feels the industry will continue to move away from traditional legacy OEM products / suppliers and embrace the new era in safe depots for everyone who works in or visits them.
