A shorlist of 46 individuals makes up this year’s 2019 everywoman in Transport & Logistics Awards programme, with the winners set to be announced at an awards ceremony in London on 13 June at the Grosvenor House Hotel
For the past 12 years, the awards have celebrated the UK’s brightest female talent in the industry.
This year’s awards programme will see two winners per category - one industry Leader with a breadth of experience and one individual at any stage of their career, who is going Above and Beyond in their business sector.
An Industry Champion award will shine the light on a woman contributing to the progress of other women, while a Male Agent of Change will be recognised for his commitment to gender diversity.
For the first time in 2019, their will also be an Apprentice of the Year.
Maxine Benson, co-founder of everywoman, said: “Women account for only 18% of the overall transport and logistics industry, which is a cry for urgent change to be made, considering the value they add.
“Encouraging women to pursue senior positions is crucial for the growth of the sector. Building the future of logistics means highlighting the role of technology and emotional intelligence in more creative job roles.
“This proves how many opportunities are also out there for the younger generation. Our finalists this year are already occupying these roles and their success stories will inspire others to do the same”.
