We are delighted to announce the appointment of Jake Rudham, Marketing Director at Unipart Rail as RSG's (Rail Supply Group) ‘Export and Inward Investment Pillar' Champion.

 

The Rail Supply Group (RSG) is the leadership body for the UK rail supply sector, whose aim is to strengthen the capability and competitiveness of the UK rail supply chain to grow business at home and abroad. The RSG is committed to delivering the Government’s Industrial Strategy: The Rail Sector Deal through fostering partnership between industry and government. 

 

In addition to Jake's appointment, Lizi Stewart becomes joint RSG Champion for RSG’s ‘Digital Railway Pillar’ alongside Rob Morris, Managing Director Rail Infrastructure at Siemens. Lizi replaces Shaun Jones, Vice President Business Recovery at Thales UK, who stepped down earlier this month.

 

About his appointment as RSG Industry Champion, Jake Rudham, said: “I am looking forward to making further progress on growing UK rail exports and accelerating the delivery of key RSG initiatives including a mentoring scheme for those companies seeking guidance and support on exporting, made evermore pertinent with the advent of Brexit. Also, our employers’ ‘reference scheme’, whereby significant employers provide work references for UK businesses to support them in winning work overseas. In 2020, Network Rail signed up to the scheme. This year I want to include TfL, Tier 1 suppliers, TOCs and ROSCOs.”
