This International Women’s Day, we celebrate not just progress but the ongoing commitment to equality, recognition, and empowerment. Women in leadership have long faced barriers, not just in proving their capabilities, but in being truly heard. Today, we honour the voices that continue to challenge norms, drive innovation, and inspire change.
Gemma Williams, Operations and Quality Lead, reflects on her journey:
“For too long, women in leadership have been offered a seat at the table as a token, rather than as true contributors. I’ve faced scrutiny beyond my skills and have had to prove my worth repeatedly. However, I’ve also witnessed change, mentors who amplify women’s voices and champion talent over tradition. This International Women’s Day, let’s not just celebrate progress but continue to drive it forward.”
Sharon Hewison, Operations Director, shares her experience in engineering:
“Over my 30-year career, I’ve faced challenges, including workplace bias and male-dominated interview panels. However, I’ve also had the support of senior leaders who believed in my capabilities. Today, I’m proud to be part of a company that values individuals based on merit, not gender. As a director, alongside a passionate leadership team, we’re transforming our company’s capabilities and efficiency, ensuring everyone has a voice in this journey.”
As we mark International Women’s Day, we reaffirm our commitment to fostering an inclusive workplace where talent is recognised, voices are amplified, and leadership is defined by ability, not gender.
Together, we continue to break barriers and shape a future of true equality.
