Rebecca Rathore, Operations Director at Stagecoach Manchester, has been nominated on the Northern Power Women Awards “Future List” for 2023.
The awards, which began in 2016, recognise work being done in the north of the UK to address gender imbalance.
Ms Rathore, who joined Stagecoach in July 2022, is the only woman director at Stagecoach Manchester. She has worked in the transport industry for 22 years and is a key member of the leadership team.
She says: “I am delighted to have been named on the Northern Women Awards Future List. Although women are currently underrepresented in the transport sector, change is coming and I’m proud to be a part of this.
“I am very excited about the future and the opportunities that are opening to women every day. My next goal is to continue to lead by example and to champion an inclusive environment at Stagecoach and lead a network of women in transport.”
She was nominated by Tricia Williams, Chief Operating Officer at Northern Trains, who says: “I’m absolutely delighted that Rebecca has made this year’s Future List. I worked with Rebecca when we were both at Manchester Airport Group – and the impact she had from the outset was fantastic.
“Rebecca is a working mum and it’s great to see how she’s progressed to a senior role in Operations, acting as a role model and showing other women that it really is possible to balance family life with a high pressured job, even in the male-dominated world of Ops. Congratulations, Rebecca!”
The Northern Power Women Awards will take place in Manchester on 20 March.
