The cornerstone of our business is the range of professional backgrounds, technical disciplines and individual outlooks that we offer.

We have over 600 rail specialists based either in our own technical centres or working directly from client offices, depots and manufacturing sites.

In our teams, we have experts who are regarded as among the best in the world in their chosen field - people with deep technical expertise who understand the industry's traditions and structures every bit as much as the standards and operational practices that underpin it.

Working alongside them are staff with a background in government, academia and science, as well as colleagues from across the Ricardo group who bring insight from areas such as motorsport, environmental regulation and clean energy generation.

Together, we can offer support right across the industry's key engineering disciplines.
