About us
Since its launch in 2016, The Big Rail Diversity Challenge has truly captured the hearts and minds of the industry – which demonstrates the passion, support and enthusiasm for the brilliant work that Women in Rail undertakes. Growing by a staggering 80% over 5 years, The Big Rail Diversity Challenge has become a staple in the industry’s event calendar, with many key industry stakeholders supporting year on year. Women in Rail and Nimble Media Ltd have developed this fun, yet serious, flagship event to allow participants from across all levels to team-build within their own organisation, as well as network with other companies and fundraise to continue the WR charity’s vital work across the UK rail industry. Back for its seventh year, The Big Rail Diversity Challenge allows companies from across rail to demonstrate their commitment to diversity within the industry, and the business benefits attained by establishing a gender diverse workforce.

It's fantastic to see 3Squared Ltd highlighting their win at The Big Rail Diversity Challenge 2024! This event continues to demonstrate the immense benefits of gender-balanced teams across the rail industry. We believe that initiatives like these are essential for changing outdated perceptions and creating a more inclusive, productive workforce. Southern Railway's push for diversity, alongside organisations like Women in Rail, is exactly the type of effort that can bridge the skills gap and promote equal opportunities for everyone. Let's keep the momentum going in the rail sector — together we can #MakeChangeWork. Join us for The Big Rail Diversity Challenge 2025 on 25 June and be part of the change! #BigRail2025 #BetterForPeopleBetterForBusinessBetterForRail

Wandering past the 3Squared Ltd 'trophy cabinet' today (there are actually two), I stopped to look at the awards we have won over the years. The last win allows me to give a shameless shout-out (again) to my colleagues in the 3Squared Ltd RailSmarties team who WON The Big Rail Diversity Challenge a few months ago. It also reminded me of the article I read earlier in the year, concerning Southern Railway's important drive to increase the diversity in their recruitment: https://lnkd.in/dTG3HQrN Given statistics that show fewer than one in 10 train drivers are women, Southern Railway, along with other organisations such as Women in Rail, are opening doors for people who haven’t traditionally considered opportunities within the rail sector. 👏 #WomenInRail #RailDiversity #MakeChangeWork

Celebrating Diversity in the Rail Industry! 🚆 Diversity in the workforce isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a powerful driver of innovation and progress. By welcoming a variety of perspectives, we unlock a treasure trove of ideas that propel our industry forward, making it more dynamic and reflective of the diverse communities we serve. In the rail sector, inclusivity is key. A diverse team means we can better understand and meet the needs of our customers, ensuring that everyone feels represented and valued. The rail environment is for everyone, and the more inclusive we become, the stronger and more resilient our industry will be. Let’s commit to building a future that mirrors the rich diversity of the world around us. Together, we can create a rail industry that is not only innovative but also truly inclusive. 🗓 Date: 25 June 2025 📍 Location: Newark Showground Join us in this journey towards a more diverse and inclusive future! #BigRail2025 #DiversityInRail #InclusiveFuture
