Women in focus

New! 'Inspiring women in conversation ' is a new series to connect our future female leaders with today's senior Transport leaders, via an interview-led, informal and personal conversation in MS Teams. Find out more.

We're sharing great stories about groups and individuals who are changing how they do things to create a better gender balance in their teams, address unconscious bias, and mentor and develop the female leaders of the future.
