About Omnicom

We’re rail engineers + data 
scientists + mathematicians

Our owner, Balfour Beatty, is an international infrastructure group, which fittingly started over 100 years ago working on tramways and railways.

They support our R&D, especially scaling the last few years of AI—mainly deep learning.

We're an evolution of four British rail engineering companies:

Rail moves on.
