Our Women in Defence network - open to everyone - has already boosted engagement among female colleagues by 6%. Plus, with strong partners like Fawcett Society and Everywoman, we’re building a workplace where everyone can thrive.

“Being part of an employee network is a great opportunity for personal development and networking. I encourage everybody to learn about inclusion networks and find one that suits you - everyone performs better when they feel supported and included.”
Matt Wakefield
Contracts Director, Aviation
“As an ex-Royal Navy Aeronautical engineer, the benefits of colleague networks are clear-cut to me. We need to attract diverse talent to gain fresh perspectives and drive innovation. I’m an avid supporter for equity in the workplace and have taken an active role supporting the Women in Defence network as Interim Co-Chair.”
