Celebrating 10 years at the
Heart of the Rail Supply Chain
We are delighted to welcome you to our Member Trade Directory which perfectly illustrates the breadth and depth of our membership and the organisations that have joined the Rail Alliance. In 2007, the Rail Alliance was launched by Colin Flack (Chairman of the Rail Alliance) a small organisation at the time, set up to support the rail industry chain with a motto that still rings very true today – Network, Collaborate, Innovate, Thrive.
We are very proud of the fact that the Rail Alliance was born in the same region that brought the world the Industrial Revolution and from that the Railway.We are at heart an organisation that is very conscious of the fact that we came into existence through the drive and energy of the SME base, the backbone of the UK economy. We remain very focused on the need to support companies large and small from every sector in their endeavours to trade in and enrich the rail sector. Uniquely our membership spans all aspects of the rail supply chain and we have no barriers to entry. Over the last 10 years we have grown from an off shoot of the Manufacturing Advisory Service within theWest Midlands to become the premier B2B networking organisation in the rail sector, with members drawn from all corners of the country and indeed the globe. Our instinct is to collaborate not compete and thus we have strategic relationships with the like of the Engineering Employers Federation, the British Chambers of Commerce, Rail Research UK and the European Rail Clusters Initiative as well as more recently with Lloyds Banking Group. In all our active network has grown from its humble origins to over 50,000 companies in the UK alone.We are founder members of the Rail Supply Group, the rail sector council. With the Rail Alliance regarded as an authority in matters relating to challenges faced by the UK rail supply chain and the challenges faced by SME’s supplying into the Rail Sector the business is going from strength-to- strength, with more and more companies using Rail Alliance as a strategic tool to improve business effectiveness and competitive advantage. We are proud to say that we have become the go-to team when it comes to doing business in the rail sector.
