Sheffield trees dispute[edit]

There seems to be an ongoing edit war regarding this articles coverage of Amey plc's involvement in a tree dispute. If both sides could come and state their case regarding how this section should be written, that would be helpful. Some sources liking worth discussing include:

Though it does appear that this company is only tangentially related to the scandal, perhaps another article could be warranted. Winner 42 Talk to me! 18:40, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Correcting information about Amey Plc[edit]

Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. Please see the Reply quote box below for additional information regarding your request.

Hello, my name is Charlotte Harvey and I work in the communications team at Amey Plc. I am posting to suggest a number of additions to this page to create a more comprehensive entry about Amey. I believe that these additions will create a more useful page for all readers and give a rounded and detailed account of the business. In adherence with Wikipedia's best practice guidelines, and due to my conflict of interest, I am not making these edits directly and hoping that someone from the editorial team would consider making them on my behalf. In all instances, suggested additions are fully referenced. These are as follows:

History In February 2018, Amey purchased Carillion's rail contracts with Network Rail in the East Midlands, London and the North West, following Carillion's liquidation in January. Amey also announced it would take over Carillion’s share of a joint contract to run the Defence Infrastructure Organisation, which involves about 2,500 staff maintaining more than 49,000 homes for service families and 280 RAF stations, army garrisons and naval bases in the UK (https://www.ft.com/content/91e4cc04-0029-11e8-9650-9c0ad2d7c5b5 )

Management (to sit under history) Andy Milner was appointed the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Amey on March 31, 2016. (https://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/person.asp?personId=108190528&privcapId=879500 ) Mr Milner was preceded by Mel Ewell who served as CEO from 2003 to March 2016.

Major Projects (to sit under operations) In 2014, Amey secured a second consecutive five-year term as Network Rail’s sole supplier of civil examinations, and retained a major footprint in rail structures assessments. Amey delivers the Civil Assessments Framework Agreements (CAFA CP5) for London North Eastern / East Midlands, Anglia, and Kent routes. In addition, the company has a place on a national strategic delivery panel for assessments (https://www.theconstructionindex.co.uk/news/view/amey-is-th-ebig-winner-in-network-rails-300m-civils-frameworks)
