The deadline for nominations for this year\u2019s\u00a0(RIA) Railway Industry Supplier Excellence Awards (RISE) and Dinner<\/a>\u00a0is fast approaching, with entries closing on Friday (April 26) at 5pm. The event celebrates the value organisations and individuals bring to the rail supply industry across a range of categories.<\/p>\n

Company awards include Innovation, Employer of the Year and Safety while individual categories include Employee of the Year and Rising Star Award. This year includes a new category \u2018The Economic Contribution Award\u2019. The deadline for submissions is Friday, 26th April at 5pm, with the awards\u2019 ceremony taking place at a glitzy dinner at the Landmark Hotel in London on Thursday, 27 June.<\/p>\n

Grace Smithen, Senior Marketing and Events Manager, said: \u201cThe RIA Dinner and RISE Awards celebrate the innovation, growth and impact that organisations and individuals have on our rail industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe industry is facing huge challenges with the suppliers having a vital role in not just delivering transformational rail projects to serve a growing number of passengers and freight customers, but also creating jobs and generating economic growth in the process.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your achievements and also joining us in celebrating all of the achievements within the sector.\u201d<\/p>\n

There will be a diverse high-level suite of industry professionals judging this year\u2019s entries, including Toufic Machnouk, Director, Industry Partnership for Digital Railway, Network Rail, Ian Prosser <\/p>\n

CBE, HM Chief Inspector of Railways, Office of Rail and Road; Raye Fullard, Chair, Women in Rail\/ Railway Industry Association EDI Charter Working Group; Daisy Chapman-Chamberlain, Innovation Manager, East West Rail; and Justin Moss, Head of Business Development and Electrification at Siemens Mobility.<\/p>\n

Justin said: \u201cAs a passionate advocate for the rail industry, I am truly excited to join the judging panel again for the RISE Awards 2024. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to celebrate the people, innovative projects and technologies that are shaping the future of our industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daisy Chapman-Chamberlain added: \u201cThe RISE awards are a vital way of recognising the achievements and contributions of suppliers in the UK rail sector. Especially looking at the next few years, innovation and collaboration with the supply chain is becoming increasingly essential, and these awards enable organisations like East West Rail to see some of the very best new technologies and services which could be used to enhance national projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event is looking to build on the success of last years, which was hosted by comedian, broadcaster and former political advisor Ayesha Hazarika MBE, and featured keynote speeches from Rail & HS2 Minister, Huw Merriman MP, and RIA\u2019s Chief Executive Darren Caplan and Chairman David Tonkin.<\/p>\n

An independent judging panel of senior industry figures picked the winners after a record number of over 90 entries were submitted across 11 categories. Among the winners, Andy Lord, Transport for London Commissioner, picked up the \u2018Client of the Year\u2019 Award, regarded by the RIA Board as the rail client individual who had done the most to deliver rail in their area and build strong supplier relationships over the year.<\/p>\n

Speaking about last year\u2019s event, Rebecca O\u2019Donnell, Business Development Manager at AtkinsR\u00e9alis, said: \u201cAtkins were proud to sponsor the RIA RISE Awards in the SME Growth category. It was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the diverse talent in our sector, as well as some truly innovative and sustainable solutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese awards are always a brilliant way to reconnect with colleagues and grow your network, and we look forward to supporting again in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
