SUMMARY:Railway Family Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:Railway Family Week is back for 2023 \nCharity the Railway Benefit Fund (RBF) have today announced the return of their popular ‘Railway Family Week’ event\, which will be held between 24 – 30 April this year.\nRailway Family Week is a fundraising and awareness campaign organised and hosted by RBF; a charity that supports current\, former\, and retired railway people and their families. Founded in 2021\, the week has a simple aim; to bring together the entire industry and raise £50\,000 for RBF.\nThe last 12 months have been particularly difficult for the rail industry\, and RBF have had their services called on like never before. In 2022\, the charity supported over 1\,000 railway people and their families with financial grants\, debt advice and legal help. In addition\, RBF launched a new Energy Fund to support with the cost-of-living crisis and increase in energy bills. This was all made possible thanks to RBF’s generous supporters who exceeded the £50\,000 target set during last year’s Railway Family Week.\nRBF President\, Pete Waterman OBE\, said: “We’re delighted that Railway Family Week is in its third year now and we’re ready to make it the biggest yet. The £50\,000 target we set is vital for the charity; it could fund a fifth of all of our services throughout the year. Please show your support and come together with RBF this April to support the railway family.” \nThe charity will soon be providing more detail on the variety of ways that companies and individuals can get involved with fundraising activities and donations for their Auction of Experiences.

SUMMARY:Rail 2023: Creating Value from Data and Innovating for Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Does rail recognize the value of data? \n  \nWe at Rail Technology Magazine\, in partnership with PA Consulting\, recently surveyed our audience to find out and to attempt to identify the key challenges that the rail industry has when it comes to extracting real value from the data that they have.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBased on that research\, we’re hoping to equip the industry to get the most out of their data in 2023 by looking at how rail organisations can take practical actions to obtain more value from data and harness it for improved decision-making during a unique and exciting webinar hosted on 7th February 2023.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin this webinar to hear from industry experts\, learn how to extract value from data\, how to use data to recognise points of failure within your operating model and use it to build resilience. \n  \nThere will be a unique opportunity during the live event to present your questions to the panel.

SUMMARY:Face to face event with Progress Rail
DESCRIPTION:Scottish Engineering is delighted to have successfully secured Phase 2 of the rail cluster builder project\, awarded by Scottish Enterprise and supported by Transport Scotland. Phase 2 is a three-year project running until 2025 and gives us the opportunity to build on the momentum of phase 1\, connecting more Scottish businesses with rail sector organisations\, strengthening and deepening relationships with key stakeholders across the sector and helping to create innovative\, green solutions that will support the net zero targets set out in the Scottish Government’s Rail Services Decarbonisation Action Plan. Giving opportunities to Scottish SMEs to bring new ideas\, new thinking and learning from other industries across Scotland into the railway sector will be key to delivering the decarbonisation of Scotland’s rail services by 2035 as well as supporting local employment and economic growth across the country. \nA key element of Phase 2 will be ensuring businesses have access to support to address the skills-related challenges faced by businesses in the rail sector. Skills Development Scotland (SDS) will also provide support to companies to identify their skills needs\, and how to develop their existing workforce in order to build capacity\, grasp opportunities and increase competitiveness. \nScottish Engineering Chief Executive Paul Sheerin said: “We are excited to be given the opportunity to step up our ambition for the Rail Cluster in this new phase\, renewing our focus on finding ways to connect Scotland’s Engineering SME’s to opportunity in the rail sector.  Our continued involvement allows us to help companies seeking to diversify their business into rail\, matching their interest in sustainable business streams which will flow from the clearly defined targets for rail de-carbonisation in Scotland and the UK.” \nShona Clive added: “We have strengthened the Scottish Engineering Rail Cluster team to ensure that this new phase of the Rail Cluster is well resourced to deliver at the pace and the quality that we have set our sights on. \nAnd while we will retain the elements that have delivered a successful cluster to date\, we look forward to bringing new ideas and innovation to the way we deliver\, including an outward view to the rail opportunities across the UK\, Europe and beyond.” \nTo celebrate the award of Phase 2\, we are holding a launch event with Progress Rail at their site in South Queensferry on Wednesday 17 August. The Progress Rail UK manufacturing site in South Queensferry is one of the most modern steel foundries in the UK with the capacity to produce Austenitic Manganese ‘special’ rail crossings from castings up to five tonnes in weight\, for customers in the UK and around the world. We expect the event to run from 0930-1330hrs with an update on the plans for this new phase of the rail cluster as well as an overview and tour of the Progress Rail operation. Further details will be shared shortly. \n
