Partners 

Pankhurst partnership

Our Pankhurst partnership offer is named after Emmeline Pankhurst, the famous suffragette who started the movement and fought hard for equal voting rights for women. We use her famous ‘Deeds not Words’ as our slogan.

Each of the Pankhurst partnerships is aligned with one of our purposes – Critical Mass, Challenge and Inspire.

All Pankhurst partnerships have been taken for 2023.

Lovelace partnership

Our Lovelace partnership offer is named after Ada Lovelace, mathematician, who is regarded as being the world’s first computer programmer.

Our Lovelace partnerships include our Critical Mass work and have a particular focus on the Women in Defence UK Awards, with each partner sponsoring a specific category at the Awards Dinner.

All Lovelace partnerships have been taken for 2023.

Fawcett partnership

Our Fawcett partnership offer is named after Millicent Fawcett, another famous suffragette who was the head of the National Union for Women’s Suffrage Societies and whose aim was to win women’s suffrage through debate and peaceful marches.

Whilst all our partnerships are underpinned by the same common purpose and Critical Mass goal, our Fawcett partnerships also include a table at the Awards Dinner.

Franklin partnership

Our Franklin partnership offer is named after Rosalind Franklin, a British chemist whose pioneering work was central to the understanding of the molecular structures of DNA, RNA, viruses, coal, and graphite.

Franklin focuses on our Critical Mass work. This work will bring together the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion practitioners from across the sector to share gender equity challenges and how they are over-coming those challenges. The output will be a shared critical mass of leading practice and knowledge that should really start to move the dial towards achieving a critical mass of women in the sector.

Some Franklin partnerships remain for 2023 at a cost of £5,000 (VAT Excl). This offer will close on 1^st December 2023, when the 2024 Franklin partnership will go on sale. The cost of these will be £6,250 (VAT Excl).
