Exhibitors at the next Railway Industry Networking (RIN) event will have the opportunity to meet the biggest rail buyers in the UK.
The Railway Industry Association (RIA) is inviting clients and Tier 1 members to meet with the supply chain exhibiting at the Business Design Centre in London on Thursday, February 6th.
In an event first, focused on promoting the interests of the rail supply chain, there will be a series of 20-minute appointments.
Among the confirmed buyers at the event includes:
- Balfour Beatty Rail
- Colas Rail
- Network Rail
- Siemens
- Transport for London
RIN was created and developed by specialist railway insurance broker, Jobson James Rail. The firm’s director, Keven Parker, said: “This is an excellent addition to the hugely success RIN events, which really could unearth some incredible opportunities.
“I can’t praise the hard work of Katherine and Gaynor and the rest of the RIA team enough for pulling this together and their work generally for UK-based suppliers to the railway industry.
“This really is a chance to meet and discuss what could be huge contracts and get a foot in the door with some of the biggest buyers in the UK.”
The Meet the Buyer event is the latest development in the RIN events which bring railway infrastructure companies together and put businesses on the right track to success.
The events are quarterly nationwide and continue to prove fantastic platforms to promote companies, with rail industry professionals from across the country looking to make new connections and explore new possibilities for their own companies.
Mr Parker added: “We continue to see an increase in popularity from professionals across all facets of the industry which is fantastic to see.
“We’ve also received a lot of positive feedback from attendees, with many people thanking us for the opportunities that have been unearthed through networking at the event.”
Gaynor Pates, Operations Director at the Railway Industry Association (RIA), said: “RIA’s partnership with RIN has gone from strength to strength over the past few years, so we’re now delighted to be hosting a ‘meet the buyer’ session on 6 February, as the next stage in this partnership. We hope that the session will add even more value to these fantastic networking events, which are so valuable to professionals from across the rail supply community.”
