In order to effectively champion women's voices within the workplace, it is crucial that our employees are wholeheartedly committed to the cause. It’s something that comes naturally for Abigale Nelson, GIS Consultant based in Southampton and a big advocate for women’s recognition in tech. “I was brought up by a strong independent woman so it's in my DNA to help promote a woman’s voice in an industry such as mine, where it can often get lost. Thankfully ERM are very good at promoting women’s voices and championing female successes where possible.”

ERM was a crucial part of the process with our experts offering guidance and expertise.
