The Rail Business Awards recognise and reward excellence in every aspect of the industry, from daily operations, safety and customer service to technical innovation and major projects across the UK. The awards are designed to celebrate the many individuals and companies whose vision, innovation and commitment help to shape this industry.

The Rail Business Awards are delivered by the team behind Rail Business UK and Railway Gazette International at ProMedia UK Group. Rail Business UK is the trusted B2B voice of the railway sector, connecting you to a highly engaged and specialised audience of decision-makers across infrastructure, operations, policy and the supply chain.

After three successful years in Manchester, the event will again be hosted outside London in 2027, reflecting the ongoing importance of showcasing the best of rail across the whole of the UK.

The Rail Business Awards take place against a backdrop of the emergence of Great British Railways as a state-owned group at the heart of the sector. But there is still plenty of room for a diverse community of suppliers, innovators, policymakers and future-makers within GBR and across the various devolved administrations around the country that will play a vital role in shaping the future railway.

Whether among operators, freight companies, suppliers or within organising authorities, there are achievements to be celebrated across the piece. This is why we look forward to welcoming the rail industry’s trendsetters, innovators, leaders and role-models to the Rail Business Awards in 2027.
