We are delighted to announce this joint event with Network Rail Wales and Western, which will look at engagement betwee Tier 1s and SMEs in the W&W region and how SMEs can best engage with or break into the rail industry.
This event aims to help Tier 1s work effectively with SMEs - including new entrants to rail - by showcasing best practice and positive examples.

This event is open to all suppliers, and will still be relevant to suppliers in other regions.
