In this special International Women’s Day episode, we bring together senior leaders Helen Boyle (Head of Utilities), Kate Ramscar (Head of People & Culture), Viki James (Managing Director of Consents Management) and Gillian Lang (Head of Scotland) for an open panel discussion on women in leadership.
The conversation explores representation in traditionally male-dominated industries, the importance of allyship in the workplace, and how leaders navigate challenges such as imposter syndrome. The panel also reflects on building confidence, supporting career progression and creating inclusive environments where every voice is heard.
Together, they share honest insights on how organisations can drive equality through culture, opportunity and leadership.
