GWR celebrates Diwali

On Monday 20th October, GWR’s head office was aglow with festive spirit as colleagues came together to celebrate Diwali!

Colleagues from GWR’s REACH (Recognising Ethnicity and Cultural Heritage) Employee Network, organised a vibrant event — complete with colourful decorations, traditional sweets, the lighting of Diya's, and the sharing of stories and traditions.

Diwali, the Festival of Lights, symbolises triumph of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. It’s a time for reflection, gratitude, and connection.

We’re proud to celebrate Diwali here at GWR, honouring the rich cultural traditions of our teams across the network. Creating opportunities to embrace and share each other’s celebrations lies at the heart of building an inclusive organisation where everyone feels seen, valued, and connected.
