It was great to chair this panel at the #TAFBPEx, talking about the role of trade associations in supporting their members on their EDI journey, and why focusing on EDI should be an obvious choice for businesses. My first in-person chairing experience! 💫

[Trade Association Forum @TAForum]

Why is focusing on #diversity and #inclusion good for your business?

@izdoesrail from @railindustry is chairing a discussion exploring this with @levy_jessica from the @fmbuilders and Mandy Rico from @INvolvePeople

Last week we were delighted to welcome Shadow Wales Secretary @JoStevensLabour on a #RIARailFellowship visit to the South Wales Metro project, hosted by @tfwrail.

The Metro will transform local rail services and includes electrifying the Core Valley Lines, helping cut emissions.

📺 Last week we visited @AlstomUK's Willesden Depot with Harrow East MP @BobBlackman 👇

🚉 Alstom showcased their new London Overground trains for @TfL which connect millions of people across the city.

Great question from @RachaelMaskell and positive response from Rail Minister @morton_wendy in Parliament today 👇

The railway is almost 2⃣0⃣0⃣ yrs old, but we need to keep building a better & more inclusive industry for the future.
