The everywoman in Retail Awards seeks to address the severe shortage of senior women working in the industry. Research shows that women make up 60% of the retail workforce, but fewer than 5% of the sector's CEOs are female and women make a paltry 8% of its purchasing decisions.* Worse still, there has been no significant change to this inequality during the last ten years.

7 out of 10 jobs in London are expected to be taken by women between now and 2016, so there has never been a better time to begin celebrating women in a sector with which they have not traditionally been associated. The UK’s transport and logistics industry may conjure images of white, middle aged men, but these awards aim to challenge this stereotype, celebrating the exceptional women working in the sector.
