About Us
- Where Rail Expertise Meets Workforce Excellence
Training Lives is a family‑run organisation dedicated to delivering safe, reliable, and high‑quality labour solutions to the UK rail sector. Built on extensive industry experience, we were founded to address key challenges in the sector, including skills shortages, inconsistent training standards, and a lack of genuine employment outcomes for new entrants.
We are committed to supporting national infrastructure by developing a competent, motivated workforce that meets the expectations of government bodies, principal contractors, and regulatory authorities.
Our Mission
We aim to be the UK rail industry’s trusted labour‑supply partner by providing compliant, competent, and best‑in‑class personnel for infrastructure projects. Our workforce is built to enhance safety, productivity, and value for money across public and private sectors, while our partnerships with local authorities and community organisations help individuals access sustainable, long‑term careers.
Our Vision
We aim to build a highly skilled and motivated “Orange Army” capable of supporting major rail projects across the UK, while consistently meeting government, industry, and safety standards. Through our in‑house training pathways, we upskill workers from entry level to senior operational roles and create long‑term career opportunities that strengthen communities and deliver real social value.
Our Commitment
We are committed to upholding the highest standards of safety, professionalism, and accountability while delivering transparent, measurable outcomes for clients and stakeholders. Our work supports government priorities around skills development, employability, and social value, ensuring every worker is trained, supported, and fully prepared to contribute effectively to the UK rail network
