Forum urges rail industry to get behind trade week

Rail Forum is encouraging its members and the wider rail industry to get involved in International Trade Week 2026 by celebrating and promoting the strength of UK rail export capability.

Taking place from 9 to 13 November, International Trade Week is a national initiative led by the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, bringing organisations together to showcase the products, services, expertise and innovation that the UK has to offer on the global stage.

The week is being supported by Rail Forum as part of its ongoing commitment to helping members grow their export opportunities and raise their profile in international markets. 

To help organisations take part, Rail Forum has developed a suite of downloadable  social media templates that can be personalised and shared throughout the week.

The templates have been designed to make it as easy as possible for businesses to highlight their export success stories, showcase products and services, and demonstrate the world-class capability that exists across the UK rail supply chain. 

Elaine Clark, chief executive at Rail Forum, said: “Our members are delivering capability that is recognised around the world.

“International Trade Week provides an excellent opportunity to celebrate those achievements, and we encourage organisations across the sector to get involved and  showcase the expertise that exists in the UK.”
