Invest in Great: Regional focus on Midlands UK Rail
Opportunities in Rail
The UK is seeing unprecedented levels of investment by Government and the private sector in mass transit and rail projects, overall the UK is investing in excess of £200bn.
Why the Midlands?
Here in the Midlands, we’ve been building trains and railways for 200 years, we are a core part of the UK’s £7bn rail manufacturing industry that employs over 80,000 people across the country.
Ideal Location To Invest
These opportunities make the UK an attractive place to locate for overseas companies active in rail, and the Midlands, given its location and strong rail cluster, is the ideal location in the UK to invest in.
