Women in Rail was established to improve the diversity of the rail industry by providing networking opportunities and support for the women of the sector. They encourage widespread industry change by supporting organisations to take on business strategies devoted to diversity and devising initiatives to position rail as an attractive career for young people.
With a wide rage of silver, gold and platinum corporate members and a growing base of professional members, Women in Rail create connections and have formed a supportive network for all women of the industry.
Making industry members feel valued, respected and supported throughout their careers is one of CIRO’s main commitments as the only professional UK institution dedicated to the development and promotion of the rail operations profession. By collaborating with Women in Rail, CIRO helps empower individuals and organisations across the rail sector to build workplaces where everyone can thrive. This commitment aligns with our values of inclusivity, collaboration, and professionalism, reinforcing CIRO’s dedication to a rail industry that reflects and serves the diverse communities it operates within.
