Although it takes just one or two people a few minutes to repair a pothole, it takes a lot of people working as a team to make it all happen.
With a fleet of machines working the length and breadth of the UK – fixing over half-a-million potholes per year – our experienced people make sure everything runs like clockwork.
From recruiting and training people, manufacturing and maintaining machines, to making sure all of the right materials, equipment and people are in the right place – it takes a lot.
Because we have a great team, backed up by decades’ of experience, it comes as second nature to us.
For customers that means they can rely on Velocity with no surprises. For our colleagues it means it’s a great place to work, where there is always somebody to support you.
