WFN event to champion Women in Fenestration

Women from across the fenestration industry will come together next week for the inaugural Professional Development Day organised by the newly formed Women in Fenestration Network (WFN).

Taking place on Thursday 25 June in Bristol, the event will bring together professionals from across the supply chain for a packed programme of shared knowledge, inspiration, networking and professional development.

The day will feature keynote speakers, panel discussions, the launch of the WFN mentoring programme and practical sessions designed to support women at every stage of their careers.

Sarah Ball, Founder of the Women in Fenestration Network, said: “For women who haven’t booked yet, there are still a few places remaining.

“The calibre of people already signed up demonstrates the importance of having a women-centred event and the demand for opportunities to connect, learn and support one another within our industry.

“I would like to thank Sioned Yates – her help and support has been extraordinary in helping bring this event to life.

“We will also be announcing what’s next for women in the industry at the event on Thursday 25 June, so it promises to be an exciting day for everyone attending.”

Sarah also thanked the organisations that have supported the launch event. She added: “We are incredibly grateful to our sponsors, whose support has made this inaugural event possible.”
