ION MAN Limited was founded in 2016 with a clear vision: to close the gap between the growing demands of the UK’s rail, track, and construction industries and the need for a skilled, safety-first workforce. From the very beginning, we understood that people are the foundation of every project. A
strong, qualified workforce isn’t just about numbers — it’s about competence, safety, and reliability. That belief became the driving force behind ION MAN’s journey.
Why We Started
In 2016, the industry was facing a challenge:
- Employers struggled to find fully compliant, safety-critical personnel they could trust.
- Talented individuals found it difficult to access affordable, accessible training and certification to progress their careers.
ION MAN was created to bridge this gap — to give candidates the tools to grow, and employers the assurance that every project is staffed with professionals who deliver.
Growing with Purpose
What began as a small, ambitious company quickly grew into a trusted nationwide partner. Within just a few years, we earned:
- RISQS certification, giving clients full confidence in compliance and safety.
- Approval as a CITB and Pearson VUE test centre, enabling us to deliver CSCS and CPCS testing with instant results.
- A reputation for supplying a wide range of certified professionals — from PTS Labourers and ICI staff to OLEC operatives and COSS Competent personnel.
By staying true to our values of safety, skill, and integrity, we transformed from a start-up into a reliable name trusted across the UK.
More Than Staffing
ION MAN is not just about filling roles. Our story is also about empowering people.
For candidates, we create pathways that turn learning into leadership providing mentorship, certifications, and opportunities to climb higher in their careers. For clients, we supply not only staff but peace of mind, ensuring projects are completed safely, on time, and to the highest standards.
Looking Ahead
From our founding in 2016 to today, our story has always been about progress for individuals, for businesses, and for industries. As we look to the future, our commitment remains strong:
- To lead with safety as our guiding principle.
- To deliver excellence in every role we provide.
- To create opportunities that build stronger careers and safer infrastructure across
the UK.
At ION MAN, we’re proud of how far we’ve come — but we’re even more excited about
where we’re going.
