The finalists for the 2023 everywoman in Transport & Logistics Awards have been announced. Now in their 16th year, the awards celebrate the vital contribution women make to transport and logistics across all sectors of the industry – from freight and retail to automotive, maritime and air transport. This year’s finalists demonstrate the progression, accomplishments and increasing avenues of opportunity within a traditionally male-dominated industry.
With women still only accounting for 20% of the 1.7 million people working in transport and logistics, tackling the lack of female recruits would be an invaluable resource to a pressurised industry and these diverse teams will be better positioned to unlock innovation and drive growth. The everywoman in Transport & Logistics Awards play an important role in highlighting success stories, shifting perceptions and creating role models to inspire future female talent who may not see the industry as an option to them, whether that’s in distribution, technical and operational roles, or leadership and management positions. A significant 76% of former Award winners agreed that their everywoman Award has positively impacted their career and 63% said it improved their personal and professional confidence, demonstrating the powerful impact that these awards have and the importance of role models for women in traditionally under-represented industries.
There will be two winners per category (Leader and Above & Beyond) and one recipient of the Tech Innovator, International Inspiration, Industry Champion, Male Agent of Change, Apprentice of the Year and Woman of the Year Award. In recognition of the significant and vital role sustainability has played in transforming the sector the new category “Sustainability Champion” is included this year for the first time.
Maxine Benson MBE, Co-Founder of everywoman, comments, “We are thrilled to announce the finalists for the 2023 everywoman in Transport & Logistics Awards. It’s been another extraordinary year for transport and logistics, with a continued need for adaptation and innovation at every level and across growing areas of the industry. In our finalists we identify and celebrate the passion, dedication, skills, and leadership that are making transport and logistics dynamic and resilient. We look forward to the awards ceremony where we can shine a spotlight on some of the most exceptional women whose achievement will motivate others to consider a career in a male-dominated industry, paving the way for future generations of ground-breaking women to succeed.”
The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony and luncheon held on 28th June 2023 at the brand-new location of The Londoner Hotel. For further information, or to book tickets for this networking event and celebration, visit www.everywoman.com/tlawards.
