THERE IS JUST A fortnight to go before entries close for the 2011 MAN Everywoman in Transport & Logistics Awards.
Now in its fourth year, the awards, run in association with Skills for Logistics, aim to recognise women who are positive role models in the industry, encouraging more women to see logistics as a worthwhile career.
Categories include those responsible for managing warehouses, those starting out in the industry, drivers, directors and women leading successful teams.
For 2011, a new category, the Green Champion Award, will be given to the individual who has addressed and reduced the company’s impact on the environment or engaged employees in a green agenda.
Maxine Benson, co-founder and director of Everywoman, says: “We’ve made strides to identify the positive female role models within the industry. However, it’s apparent that it remains a non-traditional sector for women, with many females not realising the wealth of career opportunities available. We look forward to continuing to help re-address the balance with this year’s finalists.”
Nominations close on 11 February. Entries can be made online at www.everywoman.com.
The awards will be presented at the newly refurbished Savoy Hotel in London on 4 May.
