It was incredibly empowering to be surrounded by so many inspirational women from such a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. To even be nominated was something I felt deeply proud of, but to be shortlisted and have the opportunity to attend the event in person was truly unforgettable. Being part of a space that celebrated the achievements and impact of women across different fields was both inspiring and motivating, and it reinforced my own commitment to keep growing and contributing to the industry.

It was fantastic to be in a room full of such powerful, inspiring green business leaders. That there it was women holding the space was such a refreshing change. It’s synergistic. You can feel the winds of change! There is so much work to do to affect a rapid and effective green transition in the face of powerful headwinds we need all the talent we can. There was a lot of that green energy in the room last week.

As a female leader, I hope to inspire other women in a male-dominated transport sector. As women are disproportionately affected by the climate emergency, and still vastly underrepresented in key roles in the workplace, not least the transport industry, it was inspiring to be part of a celebration of the trailblazing work of so many incredible women.

It was an amazing evening, not only celebrating all women who were recognised in their work, but to also platform important and present topics in society and be surrounded in solidarity to strive for inclusive and sustainable futures.

It was a joy to be part of an event that celebrates female talent, drive, ingenuity and impact.  It is not often I say with pride, I am lost in a sea of faces.

It was such an inspiring evening surrounded by incredible women driving change. The energy in the room was empowering and filled me with optimism for the future of sustainable and inclusive business.
