Inspiring Women Leaders in Transport

Welcome to our Women in Transport Network

Our mission is for Deloitte to be an organisation dedicated to shaping the next generation of female leaders in transport and travel. We want to provide opportunities for women to connect, share experiences and support each other, and improve gender balance in the industry.

In our Inspiring Women Leaders in Transport interview series, we connect you with senior leaders at the top of their respective fields to celebrate and recognise the contribution of women to the UK transport and travel sector. We ask them about their careers, their most difficult challenges, leading through the COVID-19 pandemic, and building diverse teams. They discuss what their different industries are doing to attract and retain women, as well as the top tips they would give to their younger selves and to other women.

It is especially important to showcase women in leadership roles, to inspire others and to learn from their experiences. We are delighted to share stories of role models in transport and travel. Learn more of their experiences and inspiring stories below. We hope you enjoy reading as much as we enjoyed our conversations with these inspiring women!

We believe it is vital that accomplished women at the most senior levels in the industry provide the aspiration, motivation and mentorship to younger women. In essence, celebrating role models in transport and travel, which has traditionally been considered a male-dominated industry, is crucial to developing a new generation of diverse leaders.

We look forward to sharing more stories in the future. Please feel free to get in contact with any of our people below.
