Keolis UK & Ireland, headquartered in London, is the UK and Ireland arm of a global passenger transport operator active in 13 countries. Since 1996 it has run several major rail franchises, delivering a substantial share of the nation's rail journeys and sustaining a local workforce. The group draws on international best practice from its broader operations, including being the largest operator of light rail services globally, to provide integrated passenger transport networks that connect different modes of travel. Its approach centers on understanding the passenger experience and pursuing improvements through innovation and collaborative relationships with clients and stakeholders, with a focus on quality and efficiency. Its UK portfolio includes franchises such as GTR, Docklands Light Railway, Manchester Metrolink, and Nottingham Trams. In late 2025 the group announced internal skills development initiatives, including apprenticeship programs and mentoring designed to broaden progression opportunities for underrepresented groups.
