The Railway Industry Association (RIA) champions a dynamic UK rail supply sector. We help to grow a sustainable, and high-performing railway as well as promoting UK rail expertise and products to international markets.

Rail is key to UK economic growth, supporting both sustainable investment and jobs in cities, towns, and communities across the UK. For every £1 in the rail transport system, over £2.50 of value is generated in the wider economy. The railway industry contributes £41 billion in economic value and £14 billion in tax revenue each year, as well as supporting over 640,000 jobs throughout the UK. For every job in rail, a further four jobs is supported elsewhere in the UK economy. Every job in the rail supply chain is 29% more productive than the UK average, reflecting highly-skilled jobs in the sector,

RIA has over 400 companies in membership, active across the whole of the rail supply sector and covering a diverse range of products and services, including both multi-national companies and SMEs (60% by number). www.riagb.org.uk
