Leidos: Driving diversity is business critical 

Angela Crabtree, Director, Contracts & Executive Sponsor of Leidos UK Women’s Network, shares her message of support

Leidos continues to support Women in Defence UK as a sponsor and Women in Defence Charter signatory. Now in our fourth year of partnership driving diversity change is not nice to have, its business critical. We are committed to foster inclusive workplace environments that allow all women to succeed. 

The defence industry is critical to our business, where we are fortunate to be delivering some of the most innovative and mission critical support to our front lines. Building a diverse and inclusive workforce enables us to strengthen our design, delivery and approach.

Collaboration and inclusion is at the heart of all we do at Leidos, so much so that they form part of our core values. The partnership with Women in Defence UK enable us to strive for gender equality in the sector through our participation in workshops and our support of the annual awards which shines a spotlight on those key role models who are making a difference in defence.

We are proud supporters of Women in Defence to create a better future for our people, our business, our customers, and our defence communities.
