What Others say about the Awards

I would never have the confidence to do all these extra things without the FL course and ongoing support of my network. The ‘round the edge’ activities have given me the skills that now aid development in my job and supporting others.

Sky is hugely proud to support the fantastic work of Forward Ladies . At Sky, our vision is a world where a career in technology is as attractive to women as it is to men. The inspiring stories of all the women recognised in these awards shines a light on the very best role-models in our industry today, which we hope in turn, will encourage more women to consider and pursue a career in technology.

The impact of FL has been huge. The awards have shone a spotlight on my career and have helped to inspire others. Importantly, the awards have enabled me to promote women’s causes and to help others to consider the possibilities. For me, I’ve taken away the importance of getting involved, of sharing my stories and to provide the visuals that are so necessary because people relate better to what they can see.
