Helen Gregory, Duty Operations Manager of Woolwich Ferry will be talking about the improvements Woolwich Ferry has made to introduce equality and their plans to encourage more women into the marine industry.
The networking event will start at 1 PM with a visit of Woolwich Ferry, please note that due to ongoing Covid-19 restrictions the visit is limited to 16 participants.
The zoom workshop will start at 3 PM where Helen will be presenting:
- Improvements Woolwich Ferry has made and challenges still faced
- Profiles of staff
- What does good look like in terms of inclusivity?
- How can we encourage more women into the marine industry?
We have been extremely fortunate that Hellen has stepped in for Fire Brigade Station Commander Brinley Powel after his early retirement. We are pleased to announce that the newly appointed Station Commander in post Emma Carr, has been in touch, and is very happy to support future WOTW network events.
This networking event is open to all ladies in an operational role on the Thames.
