The Women in Rail Awards were first held in 2018 to mark the fifth anniversary of the official launch of the Women in Rail group, showcasing and rewarding individuals and companies (large and small) who make a significant contribution to improving diversity and gender balance within the UK rail workforce.

In just 8 weeks, the Nimble Media sales and marketing team achieved a complete sell-out with 350 rail personnel in attendance from across the UK rail industry, attracting a cross-section including key stakeholders and decision-makers, infrastructure providers, operators, manufacturers, rolling stock companies, technical consultancy companies and suppliers to name a few.

In 2019, the second Women in Rail Awards was held at the historic Roundhouse in Camden, London to accommodate the demand received for attendance with a staggering 70% growth achieved, the second awards was another sell-out, with over 600 rail personnel attending the event, hosted by TV Presenter and STEM Ambassador, Rachel Riley.

Whilst the pandemic did not allow us to deliver a live event for 2020, Nimble Media worked with Women in Rail to produce a digital supplement, highlighting the winners and their achievements. The 2020 winners were then invited to join us for a celebration at the 2021 Awards, hosted by Broadcaster and TV Presenter, Naga Munchetty.

In 2022 and 2023, Gemma Cairney, Broadcaster, Youth Rights Activist and Author welcomed over 700 guests back to the Roundhouse, to celebrate the growing EDI accomplishments within the UK rail industry.

For 2024, over 780 guests were entertained by host The Reverend Kate Bottley – Vicar, Journalist, Media Presenter and Reality Television Star - and her tales of ‘being a female in a male-dominant industry’.

What a magical night. Thanks to you and your incredible team and your amazing suppliers, the Women in Rail Awards 2024 was a huge success. The feedback I received personally on the night was all highly positive and in fact quite a few mentions of the Women in Rail Awards night being the best awards event in the industry which is pretty high praise. I obviously agree completely. Hopefully, you will have seen the numerous social media posts that show how much people enjoyed the evening.
