Rail Industry Connect
The Big Rail Diversity Challenge
Rail Industry Connect (RIC), powered by Business Daily Group, helps growth-focused rail SMEs win more of the right work.
Most smaller suppliers deliver brilliant projects but struggle to cut through to decision-makers or stay visible between tenders. RIC fixes that by combining clear storytelling with specialist rail media, putting your news, case studies and expertise in front of buyers across the UK rail network.
Connected to BDG’s wider Growth Engine, we help organisations sharpen their message, raise their profile and turn visibility into commercial outcomes: stronger pipelines, better opportunities and new customers.
"Rail Industry Connect (RIC), powered by Business Daily Group, is proud to support The Big Rail Diversity Challenge and the wider mission of Women in Rail. The rail industry is built on engineering excellence, safety and long-term national impact - but its future depends just as much on who we bring into the sector, how we develop them and whether every voice has the space to contribute.
Diversity is not a corporate slogan; it is a practical advantage. Rail needs more perspectives, more problem-solvers and a stronger pipeline of talent from all backgrounds. When teams are diverse, organisations make better decisions, deliver safer outcomes and build workplaces that attract and retain the next generation.
Our platform gives visibility to the businesses, leaders and initiatives shaping the sector. Supporting this event is an extension of that commitment. We want to help shine a light on the companies who back inclusion, and champion the people driving meaningful change.
The Big Rail Diversity Challenge is a rare moment where the industry comes together not just to talk about inclusion, but to demonstrate it. We’re proud to play our part."
