The UK is the birthplace of the global rail industry, and since the privatization of British Rail in 1997, the sector has made enormous advances – regaining its place at the forefront of technical and engineering innovation.
Today, the UK rail industry employs over 200,000 people and facilitates more than 1.5 billion customer journeys each year - journeys that are safer, smoother and more reliable than ever before. Yet despite healthy investment and two decades of sustained growth, rail firms now face a complex web of challenges.
The industry’s senior executives must be able to balance growth and profitability, to efficiently manage large-scale infrastructure projects, and to maintain service levels in a climate of rising demand and growing costs. And recruiting leaders with the expertise and experience to tackle these issues requires the services of a specialist Rail executive recruitment company.
