This year's #INWED23 celebrates the best, brightest and bravest women in the #engineering industry.
Following on from Joanna's insight earlier today, we also spoke with Isobel Sheldon of Oakpolytech.
Use today to celebrate your fellow female engineers π
Out of the 6.9 million people in the UK working in #engineering, just 16.5% of these are women.
This #INWED23, we spoke to Joanna Friel of @WhittanGroup, asking her about their biggest challenges in the industry.
Thank you so much for your insight, Joanna.
@MattressTek@MadeinBritainGB So glad to see 'interest' on this list - it's one that can often be overlooked due to the necessary focus on experience and reliability, but it's key into understanding how passionate they are and how they'll perform in the role.
We support the drive to promote women in engineering. Take a look at some of our team continuing to rock the manufacturing technology sector!π·ββοΈ

@MadeinBritainGB Apprentices are the future of manufacturing.
There is a mutual benefit of training them to increase talent within the industry, whilst also creating the opportunity for them to learn whilst they earn.
It also allows current staffing to develop their own leadership skills.
@Tech_4_Good We've had many engineers tell us they struggle sourcing new talent, with many of their current staff nearing retirement - awareness is crucial for bridging this gap.
@_EngineeringUK@LightcastData And if you want to join the talent pool or need the next person for your job, we might just have something for you: https://t.co/nNe5ffzuEt
According to @_EngineeringUK and @LightcastData, available engineering roles are increasing faster than other industries, with 'green engineering' roles leading the surge.

#Recruitment specialists by day, #motorcyle instructors... also by day.
Branch Manager, Lee Burton, showed off his skills in the office last week, taking Nikki Haigh for a ride down the streets of #Northampton. A fantastic boss and mentor, with some hidden talents up his sleeve.
Beki,
You were promoted to Branch Manager earlier this year - and you're celebrating your 12th year with Jenrick Engineering.
It's been quite the year - but Derby wouldn't be the same without you.
Thank you - and happy anniversary, Beki!
