Ranging from commercial, customer experience, human resources, marketing, and programme and project management to bid writing, analysis, engineering, operations, and performance and planning, First Rail Consultancy provides expert advice to its clients that covers every facet of a transport operator.
First Rail Consultancy is excited to be Headline Sponsors for the Big Rail Diversity Challenge. Set up in 2019, our Consultancy delivers transport industry expertise to support our clients' projects or programmes. We are a dedicated group of professionals with a wide range of specialisms including Project Management, Analytics, Writing, Customer Experience, Operations and Engineering.
One of the reasons our colleagues thrive here is because we provide an inclusive environment, valuing differences including age, gender, LGBTQIA+, ethnicity, religion and disability.
Our workforce is 34% female, and we support and provide flexible working options.
We celebrate and encourage diversity of thought, progressive ways of working and seeing all our colleagues grow and thrive. We were proud to have three shortlisted nominees in the Young Rail Professional category at the recent SPOTLIGHT Rail Awards, with one of our nominees Highly Commended.
Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion working group champions EDI within our business and creates awareness of important topics for our colleagues, including Black History Month, National Inclusion Week and World Menopause Day.
