Now in their 15th year, the awards celebrate the vital contribution women make to transport and logistics showcasing progression, accomplishments and increasing avenues of opportunity within a traditionally male-dominated industry.

The Covid-19 crisis and beyond plus driver shortages have thrown transport and logistics into the spotlight as never before. The impact of this has seen an increase in women entering the industry for the first time, with the number of female delivery drivers increasing by as much as 104%. However, women still only account for 20% of the 1.7 million people working in transport and logistics . Research shows that diverse teams are better positioned to unlock innovation and drive growth – this is why these awards play such an important role in highlighting success stories, shifting perceptions and creating role models to inspire future female talent.
