IT'S green for "go" as a Norfolk-based highways support services firm moves into the fast lane and aims for �5m in sales this year.
Trek Highway Support Services has its headquarters in Thetford and depots across the South East including a new one in Dereham and employs a total of 120 people.
It does a "complete package" of jobs on road building projects including designing and operating traffic flow plans, sweeping and gully emptying, verge management and replacing lines.
Owner and chief executive Stewart Halsey has been at the helm for four years and Trek has "significantly increased sales" in that period.
