We are incredibly excited and honoured to have been selected as one of the 2025 WIRED Trailblazers!
This prestigious award celebrates a selection of the most innovative and forward-thinking companies in the UK and we are proud to be recognised as part of this distinguished group.
Our selection as a WIRED Trailblazer highlights our commitment to advancing safety and driving efficiency through geospatial technology. We are dedicated to addressing critical safety challenges in the rail industry where human error and lapses in situational awareness can have a significant impact on safety, efficiency, and costs. By introducing geospatial technology, Tended is transforming operations across a range of works, from routine maintenance to essential renewal and upgrade works.
This is bringing important change to the industry, significantly reducing the risk of incidents, such as track worker near misses, collisions, and infrastructure damage, all of which can create major network delays and incur substantial costs.
This accolade marks a major milestone for Tended in what has been an exciting year for the company. So far in 2025, we have successful conducted the industry’s first ever virtual worksites trial, launched our new Alert Zones feature to reduce the risk of infrastructure damage, started the largest roll out of geofencing to date across the Network Rail Wales and Borders route and expanded our customer base to include additional Network Rail routes and Principal Contractors throughout the UK, with the first deployment of geofencing in Northern Ireland.
Tended’s recognition as a WIRED Trailblazer is a testament to our commitment to safety and our drive to bring change to the rail industry. It reflects the hard work and collaborative nature of our team, who work closely with our customers to ensure the technology is successfully embedded and adopted by the teams who use it, as well as our partners who provide invaluable support in delivery.
Our CEO and Founder attended the launch event for the area’s award winners in Nottingham, stating “Being named as a WIRED Trailblazer recognises the incredible hard work of the team and the impactful contributions we're making in the rail industry. It’s a huge honour to be recognised alongside such an inspiring group of companies who are pushing boundaries in their fields. For us, this award is more than recognition, it’s validation of the importance of what we’re doing to improve safety and efficiency through geospatial technology."
