Entries for the 2023 Everywoman in Transport and Logistics Awards are now open.

The awards, in its 16th year and supported by Fleet News, celebrate the contribution women make to transport and logistics by showcasing their progression, accomplishments and the increasing avenues of opportunity.

Maxine Benson MBE, co-founder of Everywoman, said: “With the continued challenges faced by the transport and logistics industry, it is important that we identify and celebrate the women whose resilience, skills, and leadership are making transport and logistics the dynamic industry that it is and have kept the country moving in persistently demanding times.

“We look forward to shining a spotlight on some of the most exceptional women whose innovation, adaptation and achievements will inspire future generations of women to fulfil their career ambitions in this vibrant industry.”

There will be two winners per category (Leader and Above and Beyond) as well as one recipient of the Industry Champion, Male Agent of Change, Apprentice of the Year and Woman of the Year Award.

A new category, Sustainability Champion, will also be included this year for the first time in recognition of the role sustainability has played in transforming the sector.
