Inclusive Board will also publish extensive research into engineering in the UK, as well as the results of its diversity survey of the UK’s Top 500 engineering firms by revenue.
“As someone who cares passionately about building a supportive workplace where everyone can reach their potential regardless of gender, age, dependents, sexual orientation, or any religion, social background, or race, I am delighted to be named on the list,” said O’Driscoll.
“I am personally inspired but not at all surprised by the tremendous talent on the Women in Engineering list,” said Patrick Clarke, Director of Network Operations at UK Power Networks and judge for the list. “Sadly, there are still plenty of people who will be surprised due to a mind-set which says engineering equals males not females. I took part as a judge because I wanted to be inspired.”
“Engineers have an impact on almost every area of our day to day lives,” said Elizabeth Oni-Iyiola, Development Director at Inclusive Boards. “Johanna and those featured [on the list] are role models who inspire those around them and demonstrate leadership and influence in the work that they do.”
