[ April 14, 2014   //   ]

Finalists for the FTA everywoman in Transport & Logistics Awards have been announced.

There are 25 nominees for the awards, which were founded to raise awareness of the opportunities offered by the industry and to show the variety of fulfilling careers available.

Co-founder of Everywoman, Maxine Bensonsaid: “We congratulate this year’s finalists who have demonstrated that their gender is no barrier to success and that opportunity exists at every level of the career ladder.”

FTA chief executive, Theo de Pencier, added: “We are pleased to encourage forward thinking companies that are committed to introducing diversity to the freight industry, and working further with everywoman offers FTA opportunities to expand that work. The key for our industry is to be able to access a wider talent pool to be able to meet its need for good quality staff in whichever role it needs to fill.”
