The Big Rail Diversity Challenge
With businesses in the UK, Continental Europe and the Middle East, Freightliner is an established, leading provider of intermodal and bulk freight haulage as well as offering rolling stock and infrastructure maintenance solutions.
Operating services across the entire UK rail network, Freightliner transports maritime containers from all the main UK deep sea ports as well as from a network of 12 owned and third party inland terminals.
Freightliner is the only UK rail freight operator with its own fleet of road vehicles, offering a complete logistics package and ensuring satisfaction from port through to end delivery.
Freightliner, as part of G&W UK/Europe Region, supports The Big Rail Diversity Challenge because it allows us to demonstrate that there is categorically a place for women in rail. Despite underrepresentation of women in the rail industry, Freightliner actively encourages the recruitment and promotion of women at all levels within the business. We believe that the event showcases a key principal of rail, which is that teamwork and diversity is not only beneficial, but also essential to the productivity and success of a business. We want the rail industry to reflect the society that it serves, a society comprised of both men and women performing essential jobs within their everyday lives. To not support inclusion, of whatever kind, would significantly limit our talent pool, thereby inhibiting opportunities for future growth and innovation in our industry.
