Heidi said “I was thrilled to discover WUN, it feels amazing to be part of a team with so many like-minded women. The support I’ve received from WUN has already been fantastic – the events they hold and the community they have created fuels my ambition to drive positive change in the utilities sector. When I look back over my career so far and reflect on my earlier roles, I realise just how much WUN could have supported in building my network and confidence in those early days. If I can provide that support to other women in similar circumstances, I will be over the moon. For me WUN is a safe space to be myself, to challenge other women to ‘level up’ and lead authentically – as themselves. Working together to break down barriers and pave a new way forward in the industry is exciting – bring it on!”
