We are committed to supporting local authorities, LEPs and other third parties who recognise the strategic value of rail and want to achieve maximum benefit from their own investments in new and enhanced rail infrastructure.
About SLC
Making infrastructure projects happen
Sable Leigh Consultancy Limited (SLC)
Sable Leigh Consultancy Limited (SLC) was established in 2009 to provide expert support in developing rail projects. Since then, we’ve evolved into a multi-disciplinary consultancy, delivering infrastructure solutions for projects across a variety of sectors - including rail, highways, utilities and aviation.
Our growth is driven by a commitment to listening and responding to our clients' needs. By aligning our expertise with the dynamic demands of the UK infrastructure industry, we help our clients navigate complexity and achieve successful project outcomes.
While still an SME, our team can help your project from its early stages to entry into service. Our team includes strategic consultants, project managers, planners, engineers, analysts, and commercial managers. In addition, we maintain a trusted network of specialist associates, enabling us to scale and tailor our services to suit the unique needs of each project.
We also work closely with other SLC businesses, including our dedicated property company, SLC Property, which is an expert on negotiating complex land deals and securing consents and permissions - ensuring the smooth delivery of even the most challenging development.
Through SLC Investments, we support the delivery of new and enhanced railway stations and depots by connecting scheme promoters, financiers, and the relevant industry stakeholders. Our aim across our businesses is clear: to help make projects happen that improve people’s lives and leave a lasting legacy.
Qualified and accredited
We are active members of professional and industry bodies, supporting our continuing development and allowing us to contribute to learning and standards in the industry. Individually, our people are involved at all levels, from Graduate to Chartered and Fellowship.
We are accredited under the Rail Safety and Standards Board RISQS scheme, authorising our operations in the rail environment and we’re also certified for the following ISO standards: 14001, 45001 and 9001 and have featured as a Best Workplace in the UK for many years.
Driven by our community
We foster talent by investing in individuals through formal training, encouraging skill acquisition and pursuing ambitions. Our team actively engages in community activities, and we support their volunteering, fundraising, and raising awareness for local and global causes.
Part of a bigger family
We're part of a wider family, which shares capability and knowledge to benefit our clients:
