A BARNSLEY business is one of 55 Yorkshire firms gearing up to bid for more than £10 billion of contracts to build the HS2 high-speed railway network.
Representatives from Amco Rail, which is based at Barugh and employs between 500 and 1,000 people, will attend a 'supply chain conference' next month as the project moves towards construction in 2017.
Simon Kirby, HS2 chief executive, said the building of HS2 would offer huge opportunities for large and small companies.
"Building HS2 is a massive, long-term project - one which offers huge opportunity for large and small companies right across the country."
