TechWorks celebrates International Women's Day

8th March 2023 | News

Marked annually on 8 March, International Women's Day (IWD) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.

TechWorks would like to celebrate the voice and power of its female employees, as part of our International Women's Day celebration.

Jillian Hughes, Network Director, NMI

"I am proud to be part of Techworks. The company recognises the benefits of a diverse workforce and how this contributes to it’s long-term success. Individually we contribute but collectively we make a difference. I am also seeing a growing number of women in senior positions within my network, this is encouraging and promotes a positive change in organisations."

Joanne Thomson, HR & Finance Controller, TechWorks

"We must ensure that places are continuously created for women to thrive. To have a sense of belonging. A world where difference is valued. I have worked most of my life in male-oriented businesses. For many years, before I even existed in the world, men were the dominant leaders. Today, I have more female colleagues than I have ever had during my employment years. No matter what sex you are, we are all equals and have our own qualities. We all have a role to play that brings us together and makes the success of TechWorks."

Angela Tansey, Events Planner & Office Supervisor, TechWorks

"I’m proud to say that I work for a very small not-for-profit company which is very diverse, working alongside women who are very knowledgeable, confident and who are the experts in their field. The deep tech industry is very male-oriented, however I can say that I have never been made to feel inferior or less than, just because I’m a female. The industry does have a lot of men, but there are also amazing women in this industry, years ago this wouldn’t have seemed possible".

Lauren Thomson, Member & Finance Administration, TechWorks

"This international women’s day I want to give a special mention to all the working mothers, who juggle parenthood with careers. Every morning I leave for work I say bye to my boys and remember who I am doing this for. As a mum of two very young boys being a full-time working mum can be hard, but I am so happy to have TechWorks as my employer. The understanding of the issues mums can be faced with at any unexpected opportunity, to a very good work life balance. "
