The Railway Industry Association (RIA) has launched the 2020 Rail Industry Supplier Excellence or RISE Awards, opening up the awards to entries.
The RISE Awards are open to all RIA members and celebrate the value they bring to the rail supply industry, whether in innovation, exports, environment and sustainability, safety and wellbeing or diversity and inclusion. Last year’s winners included companies of all sizes and individuals ranging across the rail sector.
Gaynor Pates, Operations Director at the Railway Industry Association, said: “The RISE Awards seek to celebrate the innovation, growth and impact that RIA members have on our rail industry and on the wider UK.
“2020 has clearly been a very different year to what any of us could have envisaged, following the Coronavirus outbreak, but the rail supply sector has risen to the challenge, working hard to keep our rail network running during an incredibly difficult period as well as building the world-class railway of tomorrow. We should celebrate their fantastic achievements to support the UK, and the RISE Awards this year will do just that. We encourage all to enter to help us showcase the very best of UK rail supply.”
The Award winners will be announced on 5 November, during the RIA Annual Conference.
