Porterbrook

The Big Rail Diversity Challenge

Porterbrook is a leading participant in the rail leasing market, having been at the heart of the UK rail network for over 25 years. It owns almost one quarter of the national passenger rail fleet and currently has around 4,000 vehicles on lease or on order.

Since 1996, Porterbrook has invested over £3bn in new passenger and freight vehicles and will continue to invest upwards of £1bn in UK rail over the coming years.

Porterbrook’s skilled team works in partnership with customers and the railway supply chain to support decarbonisation, reduce energy consumption, and create a better passenger environment.

People are at the heart of Porterbrook. Thirty-three percent of the company’s workforce are women, and it continually seeks to ensure that its gender diversity figures reflect its commitment to engaging women in the workplace.

Porterbrook is committed to providing equal opportunities throughout employment, including recruitment, training and promotion of employees. We recognise and actively promote the benefits of a diverse workforce and are committed to treating all individuals with dignity and respect.
