The FTA has reminded the industry that there is only one week remaining to enter the 2019 Everywoman in Transport and Logistics Awards.

The awards, which showcase the breadth of opportunities within the industry along with the career journeys of those who have made an impact, are free to enter until February 11.

Everywoman’s co-founder Maxine Benson said: “Each year our awards play a vital role in changing the perception of the transport and logistics industry.

“With each success story shared by our nominees, more women are inspired to explore the variety of fulfilling careers in this ever-evolving industry.

"This year, we are highlighting the role that technology plays in creating even more opportunities in the industry and how this identifies the need for many different skills. And because we know that businesses with a more gender diverse workforce are 46% more likely to outperform those without, it is imperative that more women enter the industry.”
