Construcciones Yamaro: Sponsors come on board for Women in Industry Awards 2024
The Women in Industry Awards is back in 2024, recognising and rewarding the achievements of women working within the construction, engineering, mining, manufacturing, process control and commercial road transport industries.
Providing a unique opportunity for progressive businesses to demonstrate their support of women in their workplace and the industry, the Women in Industry Awards is returning on 20 June 2024 in Sydney.
On the back of 95 per cent growth and the gala dinner selling out for the first time in its history in 2022, this year’s event saw a record 160 nominations across 10 categories. With Komatsu, Fulton Hogan, Atlas Copco, SEW– DRIVE, COG Advertising and Paccar already on board as sponsors for the 2024 event, these numbers are expected to soar even higher for next year’s edition.
Fulton Hogan Australia CEO Graeme Johnson says the company is proud to be sponsoring the Woman of the Year award for another year. “This sponsorship demonstrates our commitment to supporting and driving change within predominantly male industries, doing what we can to make heavy industry more attractive and accessible for women to join and stay,” says Johnson.
