Ethics play a vital role in shaping a company’s reputation, influencing how customers, partners, and potential employees perceive a business. A strong ethical foundation builds trust, attracts talent, and reassures clients that they are working with a reliable and responsible organisation.

At MVIS, ethical responsibility is not an afterthought. It is embedded into how we operate, how we support our people, how we engage with communities, and how we design and deliver products to the roadside. From safety and wellbeing to sustainability and social responsibility, our approach reflects our commitment to doing the right thing at every level.

---

A Clear Commitment to Safety

Safety is at the heart of everything we do at MVIS. Our products are designed to improve roadside safety, but equally important is how they are delivered and the people who deliver them.

We invest heavily in training to ensure our teams are highly skilled, confident, and fully prepared to work safely in high risk roadside environments. Every member of staff who works on the roadside is qualified to HE Passport, which includes CSCS, one day Health and Safety training, and Manual Handling training, alongside additional role specific courses. This ongoing development ensures our teams have the knowledge and competence required to enter and exit motorway networks safely, with the same standards carried through to A roads and other high speed networks.

This commitment to safety protects not only our employees, but also the wider public and our customers. It also provides peace of mind to colleagues and families, knowing that robust systems, training, and procedures are firmly in place.

Safety is a core pillar of our T.R.U.S.T values. It underpins our products, our people, and our operations, ensuring that safety is never compromised in the pursuit of efficiency or growth.

Supporting Employee Wellbeing and a Positive Workplace Culture

MVIS recognises that ethical businesses are built by people. Looking after our workforce is fundamental to how we operate, because engaged and supported employees perform better, work more safely, and take pride in what they do.

We actively promote employee wellbeing through a range of initiatives, including access to an Employee Assistance Programme and three trained mental health first aiders who provide confidential support to any member of staff who may be struggling. This helps foster an open and supportive environment where people feel comfortable speaking up and seeking help when needed.

Beyond formal support, we place real value on workplace culture. Monthly welfare hours give teams the opportunity to step away from day to day pressures, connect with colleagues, and take part in inclusive activities. These moments help strengthen relationships, boost morale, and reinforce that wellbeing matters just as much as productivity.

By creating a positive and inclusive working environment, MVIS ensures that employees feel valued, respected, and motivated, which directly supports safety, quality, and long term retention.

---

Environmental Responsibility and Sustainable Innovation

Environmental sustainability is a key ethical focus at MVIS, particularly within product design and innovation. All new products are required to be solar powered to help reduce carbon impact. This ensures reduced reliance on mains power, full portability, and a significantly lower environmental footprint.

Solar powered technology allows our products to operate efficiently without the need for extensive cabling or external power sources, reducing disruption on site and minimising energy consumption. Battery life is extended through an extensive charging procedure, and end of life waste is carefully managed through safe disposal and recycling processes to limit environmental harm.

Sustainability extends beyond our products. Delivery routes are planned efficiently to reduce fuel consumption and emissions, supported by investment in modern 7.5 tonne vehicles capable of transporting multiple products in a single journey. This reduces the number of trips required and lowers our overall carbon footprint.

Within our facilities, we continue to implement environmentally responsible practices, including energy efficient systems, recycling initiatives, and onsite wildlife support. These actions demonstrate our commitment to minimising environmental impact across all areas of the business.

Giving Back to Communities and Supporting Ashgate Hospice

Ethical responsibility also means supporting the communities we operate in. MVIS actively engages in charitable fundraising, community initiatives, apprenticeships, and education partnerships. By working with schools, supporting young people entering the industry, and contributing to local charities, we aim to make a positive impact beyond our commercial operations.

A key part of this commitment is our ongoing support of Ashgate Hospice, a local charity providing vital palliative and end of life care to patients and families across North Derbyshire.

As part of this partnership, MVIS is hosting a dedicated charity auction to raise essential funds for Ashgate Hospice. The event brings together customers, partners, suppliers, and members of the local community, with all proceeds going directly to the hospice to support the continuation of its vital services.

Hosting the auction reflects MVIS’s belief that ethical business goes beyond compliance and accreditation. It is about using our platform, relationships, and resources to support organisations that make a meaningful difference to people’s lives.

The event also gives our employees the opportunity to actively engage in charitable initiatives, reinforcing a culture of social responsibility across the business. This builds on many years of support for Ashgate Hospice through fundraising activities, sponsorship, and practical assistance.

---

Recognised Standards and Ethical Governance

MVIS holds a range of respected industry accreditations that reflect our commitment to ethical operations, safety excellence, and environmental responsibility. These accreditations provide independent assurance that our systems and processes align with recognised best practice.

Our certifications include ISO 45001 for Occupational Health and Safety Management, demonstrating our structured approach to protecting employees and reducing workplace risk. We are also certified to ISO 14001 for Environmental Management, which confirms our commitment to minimising environmental impact and continually improving sustainability performance.

In addition, MVIS is accredited by Achilles and holds Constructionline Platinum status, highlighting our compliance with rigorous standards across health and safety, environmental management, quality, and corporate governance.

For our customers and partners, these accreditations provide confidence that MVIS is a trusted, compliant, and ethically responsible organisation.

An Ethical Approach That Delivers Long Term Value

By prioritising safety, employee wellbeing, environmental sustainability, community engagement, and strong governance, MVIS continues to build an ethical business that delivers long term value for customers, employees, and the wider industry.

Ethics at MVIS are not a marketing exercise. They are a practical, measurable, and ongoing commitment to doing the right thing, every day.

At MVIS, we believe in investing in the future and supporting the next generation as they prepare for their careers. Our success in 2025 was driven not only by innovation and growth but by the dedication and expertise of our staff. We know that fostering relationships with local communities, schools, and young talent is key to both their success and ours. 

Last year, our Marketing Manager, Ben Kettell, and Marketing Executive, Ben Ashman, visited Highfields School, located near our headquarters in Tansley, to assist with their annual mock interviews. These sessions give students a practical insight into the job application process and help them build confidence in professional settings. 

This year, we were proud to send Ben Ashman back to Highfields School, this time accompanied by our Business Development Manager, Juliette Wright. Both Ben and Juliette conducted mock interviews with students, treating each scenario as a real job application. After the interviews, they provided constructive feedback on interview techniques and CV improvements, helping students understand what employers are looking for. 

Research shows that students who participate in mock interviews are significantly more prepared for real-world job applications. According to a recent study by the National Careers Service, over 70% of students who take part in mock interviews report feeling more confident when attending actual interviews. This practical experience helps them perform better in apprenticeships, university applications, and their first full-time roles. 

MVIS has a long history of supporting Highfields students through work experience placements and apprenticeships. By dedicating a morning to mock interviews, we aim to make the transition from school to work or further education smoother and less daunting. Our goal is to ensure students leave Highfields feeling confident, prepared, and excited about their future career opportunities. 

Every year, we are proud to support Highfields School and continue helping students take the next step in their professional journeys. At MVIS, we are committed to nurturing talent and empowering the workforce of tomorrow. 

MVIS Supports Treecycle for the Sixth Year Running

MVIS is proud to have supported Treecycle for the sixth consecutive year, continuing our long-standing partnership with Ashgate Hospice and our commitment to giving back to the local community while supporting sustainability.

Treecycle is an annual initiative organised by Ashgate Hospice that helps raise vital funds for hospice care while providing residents with a simple and environmentally responsible way to dispose of their real Christmas trees after the festive season. For a donation, an Ashgate Hospice team member collects the tree directly from outside the customer’s home, removing the hassle of disposal while supporting a vital local charity.

Making Christmas Tree Recycling Simple and Sustainable

Returning to work after a well-deserved Christmas break can be busy enough without worrying about how to dispose of a Christmas tree. Treecycle offers a convenient solution. Customers simply book a collection, leave their tree outside their property, and volunteers take care of the rest.

Once collected, the trees are transported to a local woodyard where they are responsibly processed. Rather than ending up in landfill, the trees are chipped and converted into biofuel, giving them a second life as a renewable energy source.

MVIS Treecycle 2026 in Numbers

This year marked MVIS’ sixth year taking part in Treecycle, with our team once again getting hands on to support the initiative. 2026 also saw the first Treecycle for Workshop Technician Rob Hinchley, who was joined by Marketing Executive and Treecycle veteran Ben Ashman.

Over two days on the 7th and 8th of January, the pair focused their efforts on Matlock and surrounding areas. Across the two days they travelled a total of 114 miles and collected 32 Christmas trees from local homes and businesses. All trees were delivered to the woodyard in Barlow, where they will be chipped and transformed into biofuel.

The Environmental Impact of Treecycle

Recycling Christmas trees through Treecycle delivers clear environmental benefits. During their growth, Christmas trees absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis, helping to improve air quality. However, when trees are discarded in landfill and left to decompose, they release carbon dioxide and small amounts of methane. Methane is a greenhouse gas significantly more potent than carbon dioxide.

By diverting Christmas trees away from landfill and converting them into biomass fuel, Treecycle prevents these emissions from being released into the atmosphere. The resulting biofuel provides a renewable energy source that helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels, supports the circular economy and lowers overall carbon impact.

For MVIS, Treecycle perfectly aligns with our values of sustainability, community support and responsible environmental action.

Continuing Our Support for Ashgate Hospice

Supporting Ashgate Hospice remains a key focus for MVIS. Like many charities, Ashgate continues to face challenges due to limited NHS funding, making community fundraising more important than ever.

Alongside Treecycle, MVIS continues to support a range of Ashgate initiatives including the Sparkle Walk, the Superhero Walk and our annual MVIS Bake Off. We also recently supported an MVIS team member who completed a charity skydive at Skydive Hibaldstow to raise funds for the hospice.

What’s Next for MVIS and Ashgate

Looking ahead, MVIS is excited to be planning the MVIS x Ashgate Charity Auction, taking place on the 26th of February. The event will feature a range of products and services up for auction, offering attendees the opportunity to bid on high value items while supporting a fantastic cause.

We encourage everyone to save the date and join us in continuing to support Ashgate Hospice and the incredible work they do for our community.

 

Every year MVIS aims to raise the bar, and 2025 has been one of our biggest years yet. We have placed ourselves in new situations, explored different approaches and continued to meet challenges with solutions through our people, software and hardware. This year has included major projects, industry shows, group developments, CSR initiatives and the launch of new solutions and customer resources. 

As we reach the end of the year, we take a moment to reflect on everything we have achieved as a company. 

CSR Initiatives in 2025 

Treecycle

Our year once again began with the Ashgate Hospice Treecycle initiative, one of our longest-standing community commitments. MVIS has supported Treecycle for five years and it continues to grow. 

Experienced Treecycler Ben Ashman and newcomer Adam Brown spent a full day collecting more than 50 Christmas trees from residents who donated £5 to Ashgate Hospice. Collections covered Cromford, Lea, Crich and Chesterfield, all coordinated from our Tansley depot. Once collected, the trees were converted into biofuel at a local farm, supporting both the hospice and the environment. 

This initiative remains a tradition we are proud to continue each year. 

Highfields School Mock Interviews

MVIS is located only a mile from Highfields School and many of our apprentices and staff are former students. When invited to take part in the school’s mock interview day, we accepted immediately. 

Marketing team members Ben Ashman and Ben Kettell met with students to help them develop CV writing skills and interview confidence. For many, it was their first experience of a real interview environment. Supporting the next generation is important to us and we look forward to continuing this relationship. 

Ashgate Hospice Sparkle Walk

June brought the tenth anniversary of Ashgate Hospice’s Sparkle Walk. For another year, MVIS provided six solar powered VMS signs free of charge to promote and support the event across Chesterfield. 

The anniversary walk was one of Ashgate’s biggest yet, with performers motivating walkers along the route. Through a combination of free signage, staff time and smaller fundraising efforts throughout the year, MVIS has now helped raise more than £63,000 for Ashgate Hospice. 

Ashgate Skydive

In 2024 we signed up Robert Hinchley for the Ashgate skydive after other staff politely declined. Following delays caused by weather and illness, Rob finally took the leap. The achievement meant a great deal to both Rob and the company, and our marketing team produced a dedicated documentary capturing the experience and its purpose. 

Watch the video: https://youtu.be/Z2VpGbtxbnw

MVIS in the Media

During one of the hottest periods of the year, the Peak District saw a rise in fires caused by unattended BBQs. Earlier in the year, Moors for the Future Partnership approached MVIS to use our fire warning sign, inherited through our partnership with Bartco within the Torquay Group. 

After seeing the sign in action, the organisation invited us to discuss its operation on site. The resulting coverage appeared in news articles, online features and television segments. MVIS collected all media mentions and published them on our LinkedIn. 

Work Experience and New Apprentices

Many of our strongest apprentices originally joined MVIS through work experience. This year we welcomed Mackinley Brown, son of Adam Brown. Mackinley spent time with our marketing team, office staff and workshop technicians to gain hands-on experience across multiple areas of the business. 

Supporting young talent is part of our long-term CSR focus and we look forward to hosting more students in the future. 

Alongside welcoming Mackinley this year, we also welcomed a new apprentice into the Customer Relations team. With one of our experts taking well-deserved maternity leave from January 2026, we knew the well-oiled machine that is MVIS needed temporary additional support. We welcomed Lois Gill, who has already begun working closely with the team to ensure April’s high standards are maintained throughout her maternity leave. 

MVIS has welcomed many apprentices over the years, with several progressing into strong careers both within and beyond the company. Others have stayed to grow with us, such as Rebecca Prince, who this year celebrated 10 years at MVIS after first joining as an apprentice. Supporting young talent remains a core part of our long-term CSR strategy, and we will continue to help future apprentices build valuable skills and experience. 

Taskmaster Day

Staff welfare is a key priority at MVIS. This year several team members took on responsibilities outside their usual roles to help manage an extremely busy summer. Office staff assisted in the workshop and workshop staff supported teams on the road. 

To thank everyone for their hard work, we organised a companywide Taskmaster Day at the end of summer. Hosted by Marketing Executive Ben Ashman and Customer Relations’ April Flaherty, the day included creative and entertaining challenges for staff from all depots. Jon Larkins, Juliette Wright and Robert Hinchley took home the win. 

Thanks to a well-organised day from Ben and April — and home-cooked food prepared by Anne — the team ended the summer on a high, returning to work feeling refreshed, appreciated and energised. 

Events like this help staff relax, connect and return to work refreshed. 

The Return of the MVIS Bake Off

After a one-year break, the MVIS Bake Off returned in November, bringing back weekly competitions, homemade treats and the festive countdown that staff had missed. The tradition continues to boost morale across the company as we head into the Christmas period. 

CSR plays a major role in our accreditations and reputation as a trusted, community-focused business. Most importantly, our customers make these initiatives possible. Thank you to everyone who works with us and allows us to support our community throughout the year 

Innovation and New Solutions

MVIS continues to develop products and solutions that shape the future of intelligent transport systems. Our Innovation Hub allows customers to register interest early and share their feedback. Three key developments were highlighted in 2025: 

Incursion VMS

A VMS integrated with a barrier system and supported by ANPR technology. This product helps control access to sites using a whitelist and offers remote approval for authorised visitors. It was showcased at Highways UK and placed into the Innovation Hub for further market research. 

Portable Belisha Beacons

By adapting our HD Compact bases, we created a portable Belisha Beacon system paired with a durable rubber mat. This solution is ideal for temporary crossings and site environments across the UK. 

Solar Powered Tower

Cameras now record in higher quality, gather 4K data and even build 3D models to support real-time crash analysis without GDPR concerns, as demonstrated by the LiDAR by Flow Analytics by AGC. These features demand more power than standard ITS solar units can supply. To address this, MVIS developed a new solar powered tower designed to support advanced data capture equipment without mains power. With this high-power machine, we can rely on solar to create an eco-friendly power source for High Powered Equipment. 

Customisable VMS

We also introduced fully customisable VMS units, including an expanded range of colours such as our popular blue VMS models. Customers can personalise sign colours, layouts and messaging to suit their brand or project requirements. 

New Professional Services

With more than thirteen years of industry expertise, MVIS now offers six specialist services delivered by accredited staff supported by a full transport fleet: 

• ITS repairs
• VMS maintenance
• VMS upgrades
• Brake servicing
• Battery services
• Transport and haulage 

Each service is explained in detail on our website and provides customers with the same trusted standards as our hire and purchase products. 

Shows and Events

Attending industry events plays a major role in how we stay connected with customers and remain informed about developments across the sector. In 2025 we attended Core Highways, several TMCA dates, LCRIG’s Strictly Highways, Plantworx and Highways UK. 

Plantworx was a new event for us. Over three sunny days at Newark Showground, Business Development Manager Juliette Wright and Marketing Executive Ben Ashman showcased our products to visitors while positioned beside the main demonstration ring. The interest we received has encouraged us to attend Hillhead next year. 

Strictly Highways saw Sales Director Graeme Lee representing MVIS in Blackpool’s iconic ballroom, meeting industry experts and long-standing collaborators. 

Highways UK remains a key event in our calendar. In October, Anne Ashman, Graeme Lee, Juliette Wright and R&D Manager Tom Hooton presented the Incursion VMS as part of the Innovation Hub and met with many new and existing customers. 

After Highways UK was packed up and all staff returned safely to MVIS depots, we wanted to maintain the momentum generated by the show. 
We hosted the MVIS Highways Follow-Up Open Day, giving those who couldn’t attend Highways UK the opportunity to see our latest developments in person. Visitors explored new solutions, discussed innovations with our teams and experienced first-hand the products shaping the year ahead. 

Partnerships and Group Developments

2025 has been a year of strong collaboration both within the Torquay Group and with external partners. 

Our partnership with Chellan Highway Safety Services Ltd enabled us to offer a complete CCTV solution, combining high quality cameras, reliable power options and professional monitoring delivered by Wayne Nelthorpe and his highly accredited team. 

Within the Torquay Group we welcomed Solar Gates, whose barrier systems and network have enriched our shared capabilities. We also officially welcomed P & D Specialist Services Ltd as a sister company after many years of working together on schemes and installations. Their ideas and expertise have already proven valuable. 

This year also took our partnerships overseas. We collaborated with Flow Analytics by AGC, specialists in LiDAR technology for traffic surveys. Their system produces 3D renders of environments without capturing personal data, offering detailed insights while avoiding GDPR issues. We invited Flow Analytics to join us on our stand at Highways UK, and in return representatives from across the Torquay Group attended the Smart City Expo in Barcelona. 

Major Projects

MVIS is defined not only by its initiatives and innovations but also by the projects we deliver for customers. In 2025 our VMS featured on significant schemes across the country including the A1, the A47 and many other major networks. 

One standout project this year was the Glastonbury Festival, where MVIS delivered over 30 VMSV units on the routes to the festival. Despite the complexity and scale of the deployment, our Commercial & Operations Director led the project with the expertise gained from overseeing all major schemes the company has delivered over the past 13+ years. With the support of our logistics and customer relations teams, she coordinated the entire operation flawlessly. 

Our units also supported Sandringham Festival, where eight VMS C units and eight Solar IP units assisted with wayfinding and site monitoring. 

We continued to support leading highways and TM organisations, consistently delivering the high standards of service and reliability our customers expect. 

We have not only taken on projects for customers — we have also taken on some major projects within MVIS. Our Cobham Depot was becoming to small as the team company is growing and no longer fit for purpose for the volume of VMS and ITS units it handled, so we had no option but to upsize. 

Earlier this year, Southern Hub Manager Mark Ashbee and Anne Ashman were in the market for a new depot in the London area. 

They soon discovered a site that exceeded expectations — what is now the MVIS Southern Hub in Woking. 

This impressive depot includes: 

• A dedicated battery charging station   

• Yard space for our full fleet of VMS units 

• Fully functional workshop for servicing and repairs 

• Welfare areas designed with staff comfort in mind 

• An efficient layout built for modern ITS operations 

Heading into the new year, the Woking Southern Hub positions us to take on any challenge across the London region. 

Conclusion

2025 has been a whirlwind year for MVIS with a busy summer, a productive winter and continued growth throughout. We have operated through demanding periods thanks to the commitment and adaptability of our staff, many of whom stepped into new responsibilities to keep the business running smoothly. 

MVIS is built on teamwork and on the trust our customers place in us. Thank you to every member of staff for your hard work and dedication and thank you to our customers for choosing MVIS and allowing us to deliver quality products, solutions and service.

MVIS – The experts in Intelligent Transport Solutions and Platinum-Level Service.

 

This year’s Highways UK has been one of MVIS’ best shows to date. Our team worked hard to make sure our stand offered plenty of opportunities for visitors to learn more about our innovations, our people, and the exciting future ahead for MVIS and the Torquay Group.

Introducing the Incursion VMS

One of the biggest highlights from this year’s event was the unveiling of our latest innovation – the Incursion VMS.

This ground-breaking product represents a true collaboration within the Torquay Group, combining hardware from MVIS and Solar Gates with software from our sister company in Australia, Bartco. Featuring MVIS’ renowned VMS technology alongside a SOSEC barrier from Solar Gates, the Incursion VMS is designed to be the ultimate incursion prevention solution for the UK market, powered by Bartco’s WebStudio software.

While still in testing, we brought the Incursion VMS to Highways UK with the goal of gathering real-world feedback from industry professionals. We’d like to thank everyone who took part in our survey and shared valuable insights — your input is helping us refine this product and prepare it for launch.

Welcoming P&D Specialist Services to the Torquay Group

Just one month before the show, we proudly announced an exciting addition to the Torquay Group family — P&D Specialist Services. Long-standing partners of MVIS, Bartco and Solar Gates, P&D officially joined the group, further strengthening our collective expertise and capabilities.

We were delighted to host P&D on the MVIS stand, where visitors had the chance to meet the team and learn more about the new opportunities this collaboration will bring.

Welcome to the group, P&D — and thank you for joining us on Stand E8!

At Plantworx 2025, MVIS proudly introduced the UK market to the FOD*BOSS, an innovative solution developed by our partners at Aerosweep. The show gave us the perfect platform to demonstrate the product in action and highlight why it’s an essential tool for site safety and efficiency.

But if you couldn’t make it to Plantworx, don’t worry — we’ve got you covered. Below, you’ll find the same video and key information we shared with visitors at the event.

🎥 Watch the FOD*BOSS in action:
https://youtu.be/v3_tXFV0SpI

Why FOD*BOSS?

As the video shows, the FOD*BOSS is designed around three core principles:

✅ Easy Setup
✅ Easy Tow
✅ Easy Clean

Here’s how it works in practice:

Easy Setup

The FOD*BOSS can be connected to almost any vehicle fitted with a ball hitch. Simply attach the sweeper using the included hitch, secure the pins, and adjust the arm so it’s lifted off the ground when not in use — helping extend the product’s life.

  

Easy Tow

Once connected, the FOD*BOSS is ready to go. It can be towed safely and effectively at just 5 mph, ensuring maximum debris collection. By following the simple usage guides provided, you’ll always achieve the best results.

Easy Clean

After sweeping, the FOD*BOSS makes debris disposal quick and simple. Just unhook the unit, lift the lightweight collection net, and use the yellow handles to empty gravel, leaves, dust, and other debris into your disposal area

A Smarter Way to Keep Sites Safe

The FOD*BOSS is lightweight, portable, and incredibly effective — making it a smart investment for sites where safety and efficiency are a priority. Whether it’s gravel, dust, or loose debris, this product ensures your site stays clear with minimal effort.

 

One of the core messages of MVIS’ “Don’t Wait for Trouble – Prevent It“ campaign is the importance of proactively addressing health and safety risks, especially in high-value or high-risk areas across the UK. A key component of this prevention strategy is monitoring – and that starts with visibility. 

At MVIS, we understand it’s not always possible to predict exactly when an incident might occur. But if your site holds valuable vehicles, materials, or sensitive documents, you can be certain that someone will notice – and that poorly monitored sites are a prime target for opportunists. 

This is where visible, reliable CCTV Products becomes essential. 

CCTV: A Powerful Deterrent 

Research shows that simply having visible security cameras on-site can significantly deter unwanted activity. In fact, many construction and industrial sites have reported a 70% reduction in theft and vandalism after installing visible CCTV. The presence of a camera often stops crime before it starts. 

A survey by Co-Op Insurance, conducted with reformed burglars, revealed that 60% of ex-offenders would avoid targeting a building with visible CCTV. The reason is simple: the risk of being recorded and caught outweighs the potential reward. 

This isn’t limited to construction or industrial settings. In retail environments, the installation of CCTV has led to a 65% drop in shoplifting and a 51% decrease in vehicle crime in parking areas.
