The finalists for the 2023 Everywoman in Transport and Logistics Awards have been announced.

The awards, now in its 16th year, celebrate women’s vital contribution to transport and logistics across all sectors – from freight to retail to automotive, maritime and air transport.

This year’s finalists demonstrate the progression, accomplishments and increasing avenues of opportunity.

Women account for 20% of the 1.7m people working in transport and logistics, according to Everywoman.

Maxine Benson, MBE, co-founder of Everywoman, said: “We are thrilled to announce the finalists for the 2023 Everywoman in Transport & Logistics Awards.

“It’s been another extraordinary year for transport and logistics, with a continued need for adaptation and innovation at every level and across growing areas of the industry. In our finalists, we identify and celebrate the passion, dedication, skills, and leadership that are making transport and logistics dynamic and resilient.

“We look forward to the awards ceremony where we can shine a spotlight on some of the most exceptional women whose achievements will motivate others to consider a career in a male-dominated industry, paving the way for future generations of ground-breaking women to succeed.”

The awards will recognise two winners per category: one successful industry ‘Leader’ and one individual at any stage in their career who is going ‘Above and Beyond’ for their business.

There are also awards for Tech Innovator, International Inspiration, Industry Champion, Male Agent of Change, Apprentice of the Year and Woman of the Year.

A new ‘Sustainability Champion’ will also be included this year for the first time.

The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony held on June 28 at The Londoner, Leicester Square, London.
