The Chevron Group is looking forward to exhibiting at Highways UK at the NEC again this year. Our team of experts from Chevron Traffic Management and Chevron Green Services will be on Stand 6 to catch up with delegates.
It’s been a busy twelve months at the Chevron Group since we last exhibited at Highways UK and launched the new EMCC (Enhanced Mobile Carriageway Closure) technique to the traffic management industry.
This year we are returning to Highways UK with another exciting two days of networking, updates, panel discussions and presentations. Our panel discussions which will focus on how we are using digital technology and innovation to create safer work schemes which are sustainable, protect the environment and enhance our biodiversity. Specialists from Chevron Green Services and Chevron Traffic Management will be leading the activity on our stand. We hope to see you there.
What’s happening at HUK23?
Visit our stand #6 where our key focus will be sustainable traffic management.
Check out our Living Wall
Our amazing living wall will be the standout feature of our stand, showcasing our commitment to protecting our planet and keeping the natural world at the heart of everything we do. It’s a new approach for us but we love it and we hope you will too! It’s really important to point out that everything in the wall (and indeed on our stand) is reusable and fully sustainable.
Our Ecosphere is back
We introduced our Chevron Green Services Ecosphere (or our Bug Hotel as we affectionately call it) at HUK last year and it generated great interest and fantastic discussions about the importance of protecting local biodiversity across all our works. We donated last year’s Ecosphere to the Royal British Legion Industries (RBLI) in Aylesbury where is has become a busy playground for an array of local wildlife but we will have a new mini ecosphere back on the stand.
Check out Chevron Green Services’ tips to create your own Ecosphere.
Find out how we are reducing CO2 emissions
We have recently been awarded a 2023 Green Apple Environmental Award for using digital technology to reduce carbon emissions on our schemes. On one scheme alone, we saved in excess of 84 tonnes of CO2 emissions by using HRS Intellitag® to eliminate routine maintenance and enable us to carry out data-led, event-based maintenance. This removed 107,800 unnecessary maintenance miles which would have been required to undertake physical site maintenance checks, resulting in the carbon savings on this scheme.
We will be showcasing Intellitag® on the stand so come along and find out more about it.
Meet the team
HUK is all about networking, catching up with customers, suppliers, stakeholders and other interested parties. That is why we will have a full team on our stand who are experts in their fields including traffic management, digital technology, environmental consultancy, arboriculture, vegetation management and sustainability.

Join in the discussions
Members of our team are taking part in panel discussions during HUK23.
Date: Wednesday 18 October
Time: 14:35
Theatre: Intelligent Transport Systems Theatre
Topic: Optimising user experience and managing demand during road closures with tech, data and AI
Panellist: Darren Wills, HRS, Managing Director UK
As part of Ramudden Global, Chevron TM is a leader in infrastructure safety, driving change which will give road users a better experience during road works. We work with our digital partner, HRS, to develop and implement innovative products or techniques which improve road user experience. EMCC reduces the need for long diversions off carriageways, while instant alerts from Intellitag® ensure that critical signage is not compromised, which could affect road user safety and journey times. These are just two examples of innovative products which are optimising user experience and managing demand during road works. Darren will provide an engaging and informative contribution to this very important topic.
Date: Wednesday 18 October
Time: 13:55
Theatre: Sustainability Theatre
Topic: Utilising highway verges for resilient roads in the face of climate change
Panellist: Martin Osman, Consultancy Director, Chevron Green Services
Martin will focus on maintenance of current verge vegetation: “Whilst it's important to get the design of new projects correct and deliver the environmental returns required, Chevron Green Services believes that appropriate maintenance of the current verge vegetation is crucial to ensuring the long-term resilience of the estate. Maintenance operations encouraging succession to mature habitats, and focusing on wind firm tree stock development, will work towards reducing unplanned emergency interventions and an increase in biodiversity.”4
Date: Thursday 19 October
Time: 13:20
Theatre: Innovation Theatre
Topic: How digital products and services are changing the way we deliver to a global infrastructure
Panellist: Darren Wills, HRS, Managing Director UK
Darren is back on stage on Thursday 19 October. Ramudden Global is a network of infrastructure safety companies with over 4,500 employees across 12 different countries and a mission ‘to get people home safely every day’. It inspires our entrepreneurial spirit and creativity, sharing ideas and solutions to lead the way in innovation and governance to become a force for good. A caring force for a safer world. Darren will share how this global network is changing the face of global infrastructure through innovation and digital technology.
And there’s more…
In keeping with our sustainability focus, we are making a few changes to how we share our information during the show.
- We are not giving out any information leaflets or flyers. All our information will be available via QR codes which will displayed on the stand (or by coming directly to our website which we will update over the course of the show)
- We won’t be sharing business cards. Instead, our team will use a dynamic business card made of sustainable bamboo which they can simply tap to your phone to share their details. Perhaps the best thing about these cards is that for every card sold, the supplier plants a bamboo tree!
- Tea, coffee, water and snacks will be available on our stand but they will all be offered in reusable or recycled cups and bottles.
- Check out the timber piece on the stand and guess the age by looking at the rings. Our environmental experts will be on hand to keep you right.
