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! 💫
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.
