The people driving Women in Defence UK 

Women in Defence UK is comprised of three pivotal teams

Bound together by a common aim, that of accelerating gender equity, are three interconnected teams.

At the operational level, is ‘The Team’. They are the ones who do all the hard work keeping the ‘show’ running smoothly. Above them sit a group of volunteers – the Leadership Team. Meeting fortnightly, they lead on new initiatives such as our Social Value Impact report or our revamped Partnerships. Our Strategic Advisory Board which comprises ‘top of the shop’ leaders from the MOD, from defence industry and advisors from outside of the sector plus all of our Women of the Year, provides guidance and wisdom to help us ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction.
