I am delighted to have been asked to join the WUN Board and the inspirational women that lead the organisation. I am truly passionate about creating inclusive work environments, which starts by providing opportunities for new and diverse talent to feel supported in building their careers within the sector. We still have a way to go in utilities, which is why the Women’s Utilities Network and its work is so important. As a Board member I will make the commitment to continuing to build a community of women who can connect, support, develop and encourage one another in the industry I love.
