What Moves Us - Looking Forward to the Heathrow Express Supplier Challenge
Episode 80
Tuesday, 14 October, 2025

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. 🎟️ Find out more and register here: Heathrow Express Supplier Challenge on Eventbrite Tune in, get inspired, and get ready to step onto the platform.
