WSP’s achievements in this space have earned global recognition and continue to inspire positive change across the industry.
A Partnership Built on Shared Values
“WSP has been a valued founding partner of Women in Transport, supporting our mission for over 20 years. Their long-standing commitment has been instrumental in helping us grow our community and deliver impactful initiatives that champion inclusion across the transport sector.
“We are especially grateful for WSP’s support in launching our South West Regional Hub in 2024 and for their continued involvement in our regional events, helping us reach and empower more women across the UK. Their contribution to our Women’s Safety Working Group — led in part by WSP’s own Susan Leadbetter as Vice Chair — and to our upcoming data project, demonstrates a shared dedication to creating safer, more inclusive transport networks for everyone.”
— Sonya Byers, CEO, Women in Transport
Gillian Risdale, Service Director at WSP added:
"WSP’s sponsorship of the South-West Regional Hub created a local platform supporting women in developing their careers, demonstrating a genuine commitment to drive equality and inclusion at a grass roots level."
