The 2020 Everywoman in Transport and Logistics Awards is now open for nominations until 10 February 2020.
The awards celebrate inspirational women reshaping the industry.
Since the inception of the awards 13 years ago, more women have taken up senior roles in transport and logistics, but they still account for just 20% of the overall workforce, showing that there is more work to be done to attract female talent to the sector.
Studies show how long-term risk management and innovation in problem-solving undergo marked improvement within companies where women fill leadership roles.
Maxine Benson, co-founder of Everywoman, says: “Every year, we look forward to shining a spotlight on some of the most exceptional women whose achievements will inspire the future generation in motivating them to consider an industry they might not otherwise have. Women working in the transport and logistics industry is increasingly seen as natural and normal – the focus should be shifted to enabling women to progress within these industries, especially in senior management roles.”
