Rowe Hankins is proud to sponsor Focus on Light Rail 2025, hosted by Rail Forum in Leeds on 5th of November 2025. As a long-established specialist in rail safety and sensing technologies, the company will join key industry figures to discuss innovation, collaboration, and the future of light rail.
Focus on Light Rail has been organised by Rail Forum as part of their work with UKTram, providing the rail supply chain with a detailed view of the current and future landscape of light rail in the UK.
Being part of this event fits perfectly with what Rowe Hankins is all about. As sponsors, they look forward to meeting delegates at their table to chat about their solutions and upcoming projects.
David Owen, CEO said:We are proud to support an event that brings the industry together.
David continued:It’s a great opportunity to share what we have learned, hear from others, and help push safety and performance in urban rail networks moving forward.
At the event, their engineering team will showcase tram safety and control systems, including speed-sensing and overspeed-protection systems. The key point is showing how smart engineering can make light rail systems safer and more efficient.
Alex Emmerson, Chief Technology Officer said:Focus on light rail is a fantastic chance to show how we design systems that really work for operators. From sensors to complete turnkey protection systems, we aim to provide solutions that are reliable, practical and built for the challenges of modern light rail networks.
Delegates stopping by the Rowe Hankins table can meet the team, learn more about the company’s capabilities, and explore how their solutions could support future projects across the light rail sector.
With a long history of delivering speed sensors, overspeed protection systems, and surge protection modules, Rowe Hankins’ sponsorship and participation in the Focus on Light Rail event reflect their ongoing commitment to supporting the UK light rail industry.
