Supporting a Mobile Workforce Across Bedfordshire’s Major Projects

Bedfordshire is entering a period of exceptional growth, and with it a very real workforce challenge.

Major projects are landing at the same time:

• Universal Studios
• Luton Airport expansion
• New football ground construction
• Large-scale residential development

Each on its own is significant. Taken together, they place unprecedented pressure on human resources, skills availability, onboarding, and ongoing skills compliance.

Universal Studios alone is expected to verify around 20,000 construction workers, and to generate a further 8,000 jobs once operational. This brings requirements far beyond initial checks, including training, ongoing skills assessment, site access controls, and the ability to support a highly mobile workforce moving between projects.

This is where traditional point-to-point vetting models start to break down.

At Xertilox, we offer a single-use ID wallet as part of our services, alongside an orchestration service and networked platform designed for mobile and remote workforces. This enables workers to move between sites with instant, trusted verification recognised across participating organisations.

By enabling shared trust between organisations, Xertilox helps bring businesses together to form stronger, more resilient workforce networks across the region. Verification is completed once, securely evidenced, and reusable across multiple sites and employers without repeating the same checks or creating friction for workers or operators. This is what we refer to as the network effect.

We’ve also secured integrations and partnerships with a number of service providers, to be announced in due course, further extending the flexibility and deepening the coverage of the Xertilox wallet across construction and logistics environments.

If you’re supporting, supplying, or planning to operate within Bedfordshire’s construction or logistics projects and are thinking about workforce availability, compliance, or mobility, feel free to connect or get in touch.
