Changing the future of Utilities: Introducing our unique WUN development programmes – designed by and for women in utilities
We know that utilities need more women in leadership and with the fast changing nature of the sector, this is more important than ever. Changes are being made but the pace isn’t fast enough to make a real difference. We are here to help.
We are proud to have created a bespoke development framework to support women at different points in their utilities careers.
Whether you are reading this as a HR/L&D professional or manager looking for leadership development opportunities for your female colleagues, or a woman in utilities who wants to invest in yourself and your future – you are in the right place!
Our WUN programmes have been created by women in utilities to respond to the challenges and needs reported to us by our members and partner companies. Designed to address the unique challenges of utilities, our topics are specifically tailored to support and develop women in the sector.
This website has all the information you need to explore our opportunities.

We want to pro-actively contribute to a more inclusive, innovative, and dynamic industry – so we will empower women to take on leadership roles, drive progress, improve performance, and better serve our communities.
We invite our partner companies and individual women across the sector to join us on this transformative journey. Our programmes will give you and/or your team members an unmissable opportunity to develop unique and inclusive leadership styles, learn new management techniques and build self-confidence.
Worryingly, our recent survey on Unconscious Bias revealed that nearly 50% of women in the sector are thinking about leaving, and at the WUN, we want to stop talent leaving and heading elsewhere
