Women's Empowerment Network
CEVA UK & Ireland is pleased to announce the launch of our Women's Empowerment Network, along with a new mentoring scheme for female talent & unconscious bias learning for Managers.
Sandra McKenzie-Day, Head of HR UK&I, announced the launch of the Women's Empowerment Network during a very special event held at our HQ in Ashby-de-la-Zouch. 50 CEVA colleagues, customers, suppliers and senior leadership team members participated in this wonderful initiative, which also featured an opportunity to network over lunch.
In the session, co-hosts Suzanne Chapman, our Head of Finance Operations UK&I and Katie Rodham, Head of HSEQ UK&I shared their experiences of being female in a male dominated environment as well as discussing the gender imbalance in our industry and how they have challenged the norm.
Our guest speakers Bethany Windsor Deputy Director of the Chartered Institute of Transport & Generation Logistics talked about future young female talent in logistics and Nicola Smith partner at major law firm Squires, Patton & Boggs shared the key gender equality initiatives she is leading.
