First Group
The Big Rail Diversity Challenge
We have five divisions that draw on common skills and expertise but vary by geography, customer base, and a mix of contract and passenger revenue.
By operating, managing, and maintaining a combined fleet of 50,000 vehicles, our broad footprint in the UK and North America gives us experience in two of the most developed transport markets in the world, along with a wealth of expertise across different regulatory and contractual environments.
With more than 100,000 employees across the Group, we carry approximately 2.1 billion passengers a year, generating revenues of around £6.4bn annually.
FirstGroup aspires to be a diverse and inclusive organisation because we believe that diversity benefits our customers, communities, and our people.
The Big Rail Diversity Challenge is an excellent opportunity to help, support, and encourage our companies to understand that diverse experiences and attitudes bring benefits such as innovation, creativity, and a competitive edge.
The Challenge strikes a balance between conveying a serious message and having some fun. And who doesn’t like a bit of competition?
Team "First Things First" aims to live up to its name in the challenges!
