Everywoman Transport And Logistics 2024 Award Winners

The awards were launched to shine a spotlight on the varied and increasing avenues of opportunities available in the traditionally male-dominated industry and celebrate the vital role that women play within it.

The awards organiser said that despite progress, only 23% of the industry’s one-and-a-half million employees identify as women, more than half of these women are in non-transport roles and 54% of organisations lack formal targets, commitments, or quotas for gender diversity.

Maxine Benson MBE, co-founder of everywoman said: “Studies consistently demonstrate that diverse teams foster greater creativity, problem-solving abilities, employee engagement, and overall profitability within organizations.

The economic benefits of equalising the labour force could lead to potential gains of 10% of GDP by 2030.

Attracting, retaining, and advancing women has the power to fuel progress, unlock innovation and drive growth, not just for organisations but for the UK economy. Now in their 25th year, Everywoman continues to play a significant part in recognising exceptional women whose innovation, skills, resilience, and leadership will inspire future generations of women to fulfil their career ambitions in vibrant and dynamic industries.

Congratulations to our director, Vanessa Young, for taking home the Freight Leader Award sponsored by WCAworld
