Railway Industry Association

The Railway Industry Association (RIA) champions a dynamic UK rail supply sector. We help to grow a sustainable, and high-performing railway as well as promoting UK rail expertise and products to international markets. RIA has over 360 companies in membership in an industry which contributes £43 billion in economic growth and £14 billion in tax revenue each year, as well as employing 710,000 people. It is also a foundation sector for the UK’s economy which supports sustainable investment and jobs in towns and communities across the UK; for every £1 spent in rail, £2.50 is generated in the wider economy. RIA’s membership is active across the whole of railway supply, covering a diverse range of products and services and including both multi-national companies and SMEs (60% by number).
