Panel Discussion to Celebrate International Womens Day

This #IWD2026, we’re embracing the UN International Women’s Day theme:

Together, let’s celebrate the progress made — and be honest about where change still needs to happen.

In nuclear and construction, the challenges are real: male-dominated environments, skills shortages, safety-critical work and deeply embedded cultures. But inclusion isn’t just a values statement; it’s a workforce strategy.

Hear from industry leaders on critical topics that shape inclusion and sustain change. This will be an honest conversation designed to challenge the status quo and focus on practical, real-world solutions.

✅Menopause & Workplace Health – Katy Edwards, Managing Director, Forest Digby Ltd
