Women in Transport is delighted to announce that our valued partner, Tesco is now an Advocate partner. Tesco is deeply committed to promoting diversity and inclusion across all areas of its business, which ensures that it best represents the communities it serves and creates an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome and valued. A key aspect of their mission is to increase female representation, particularly in traditionally male-dominated sectors like transport and logistics.
This collaboration underscores our shared commitment to promoting diversity, inclusion, and leadership opportunities for women across the transport and logistics sectors. Through this renewed partnership, sponsoring our podcast series on intersectionality and promoting jobs to our wide membership, Women in Transport and Tesco will continue to empower women, championing professional development and fostering an environment where women can thrive.
Dal Kalirai, Interim CEO of Women in Transport, expressed her enthusiasm about the renewal:
"We are thrilled that Tesco has renewed and upgraded partnership with us, reaffirming our shared mission to build a strong network and community within the transport sector that can make a real impact. Tesco’s continued commitment aims to inspire and motivate more women to pursue careers as drivers and in other roles within their transport and logistics division. By focusing on intersectionality, network collaboration, and increasing visibility, Tesco seeks to break down barriers, promote allyship, and create pathways for women to thrive in these industries. Through targeted initiatives, they are working to grow female representation, challenge cultural norms, and encourage women to take up roles that have historically been underrepresented by women. We look forward to our continued collaboration and the promising future ahead.”
Andrew Woolfenden, UK Distribution and Fulfilment Director, Tesco said: “We’re delighted to be strengthening our partnership with Women in Transport and continuing to work together to help more women get on in the industry. We want to drive a more inclusive workplace where colleagues can get on, no matter what their gender, ability, ethnicity or belief. Working alongside Women in Transport helps us address the barriers women can face entering the transport & logistics industry and ensure they have the support and resources they need to progress in their careers, as well as supporting us to increase female representation across our business”.
