Marvin OnumonuSiemens Mobility has received the special recognition award at the 2025 East Riding of Yorkshire Chairman’s Awards for its contribution to the local economy and community.
The company’s Goole Rail Village in East Yorkshire represents an investment of up to £240m.
The site includes a train manufacturing facility along with components, logistics, innovation and office buildings.
Siemens Mobility’s investment in Goole is set to bring up to 1,000 new jobs to East Yorkshire and around 1,700 supply chain opportunities.
Finbarr Dowling (pictured, centre left), head of UK localisation at Siemens Mobility, said: “We’re delighted to have been recognised by the Chairman of East Riding of Yorkshire Council.
“This award is especially fitting as the council has played a critical role in supporting our investment in Goole and maximising the benefits we have brought to the local economy and community.
“In Goole, as in everywhere we operate, we aim to make a positive difference to the local community as part of our mission to transform rail travel and transport in the UK.”
Dowling added: “A great deal has been achieved so far, but we’re committed to building on this.”
Mark Speed (pictured, centre right), general manager at Siemens Mobility’s Goole Rail Village, said: “We’re honoured to receive this award and proud of the positive impact we have made, economically and socially, in East Yorkshire.
“It’s a tribute to all of our talented team who are so passionate about supporting the local community.
“Our commitment to Goole is about so much more than investment, jobs and skills.”
Speed added: “It’s about becoming embedded in the local area and being a supportive partner of community groups and charities.
“The Goole Rail Village is continuing to develop and so too is our work to create a deep and lasting legacy for the local community.”
