Tidyco recognises that the RFEM is a valuable resource within the industry and is helping to shape the future of rail. Importantly, RFEM plays an important role in growing commerce and supporting local businesses.

Rail Forum East Midlands, formerly known as the Derby and Derbyshire Rail Forum (DDRF), represents over 150 businesses across the East Midlands, employing over 25,000 people and contributing £2.6bn to the local economy.

Formed in 1993 the DDRF was originally created to promote the area as a world class centre of rail excellence.

Members include infrastructure and rolling stock designers and consultancies, installers, manufacturers, OEMs and a wide range of service providers to the industry.

Today the Rail Forum East Midlands works strategically with both UK and regional governments, the Rail Supply Group (RSG) and our local LEPs as well as continuing to support our members through specific events.

Barry says; “I am delighted to be joining the Board of Directors for Rail Forum East Midlands and am looking forward to supporting the group in driving positive change within the rail industry. There is a great deal of activity within the East Midlands regarding Government initiatives for industrial growth and I am excited to be a part of it.”
