UKTram sponsors the 2025 Global Light Rail Awards

UKTram is delighted to continue its support as a proud sponsor of the 2025 Global Light Rail Awards, the only international awards event dedicated exclusively to celebrating success across the light and urban rail sector.

Returning to London’s prestigious Bloomsbury Ballroom on 1 October 2025, the Awards provide a vital platform for recognising innovation, collaboration and excellence from across the sector, globally. The ceremony highlights the dedicated professionals and visionary projects that are shaping the future of urban transit, including individual frontline contributions and major engineering achievements.

As the authoritative voice of light rail in the UK and Ireland, UKTram is committed to supporting the industry through knowledge sharing, advocacy and the development of standards for long-term, sustainable growth. Our continued sponsorship of the Global Light Rail Awards reflects this commitment, while also celebrating the individuals and organisations leading innovation and redefining what’s possible across the industry.

“The Global Light Rail Awards are a fantastic reminder of how far we’ve come, and what can be achieved through shared vision and collaboration. We’re proud to stand alongside our peers in recognising the sector’s talent and impactful projects” says James Hammett, UKTram Managing Director.

In 2024, the event welcomed over 300 attendees and more than 150 entries from 12 countries, underlining its status as a truly global celebration of light rail excellence. Categories ranged from Technical Innovation of the Year to Best Environmental & Sustainability Initiative, showcasing the full breadth of achievements across the sector.

As we look ahead to the 2025 awards, UKTram is especially proud to sponsor an event that celebrates industry progress while reflecting the values of excellence, accessibility and continuous improvement that we promote through our long-term strategy.

We look forward to honouring this year’s exceptional contributions and celebrating with members and colleagues on the night.
