Thank you to all those who nominated and who took part in the voting process.
The RIEC aims to provide policy advice to the ARA on matters pertinent to rail manufacturers and suppliers, as well as to develop a work plan and deliver a range of actions to foster a favourable environment for the rail supply chain to prosper.
A reminder that all supply chain members are encouraged to participate in the newly established Large Suppliers Reference Group (ARA members class 1, A or B) and the Small to Medium Enterprise Reference Group (ARA members class C and below).

A copy of the Terms of Reference is available here.
