Owned and governed by our members we provide unrivalled networking opportunities encouraging collaboration across the regional supply chain and beyond.

We are a not-for-profit organisation, governed by our members with the sole purpose of supporting them to grow and thrive. Our members include infrastructure and rolling stock consultancies, manufacturers, OEMs and a wide range of service providers to the industry. We work strategically with both UK and regional governments, the Rail Delivery and Supply Groups (RDG/RSG) and our local LEPs as well as continuing to support our members through specific events. RFM is far more than just a trade or networking organisation and we have four key strategic objectives through which we serve our members: - Sharing Information About Key Issues and Opportunities - Providing a Collective Voice - Showcasing the Capability of Members - Facilitating Development of a Rail Sector Deal
