In this episode, we sit down with Chris Jones from Heathrow Express—the team behind the 15-minute airport express—to hear how they’re throwing open the doors to new suppliers.
Heathrow Express is inviting startups and SMEs to help solve three real-world challenges:
-
easing the pain of staff travel through airport security,
-
showcasing and strengthening the premium passenger experience, and
-
cracking the “last mile” connection beyond Paddington.
These aren’t theoretical ideas. They’re live problems waiting for practical, scalable solutions.
It all leads to the Heathrow Express Supplier Challenge on 9 December—a one-day, Dragons’ Den-style event where innovators will pitch directly to Heathrow Express and Heathrow Airport decision-makers. Expect a hands-on day: a ride out from Paddington, live pitches at Heathrow, and evening networking with the people who can actually make things happen.
If you build digital tools, passenger tech, or data-driven services and have ever thought “we could make rail run better,” this is your moment.
