Members of the Women of Waterproofing networking group had the opportunity to meet and reconnect, focusing on the need to attract, retain, and inspire women in the waterproofing sector.

The event was sponsored by Delta Membrane Systems Limited, covering topics such as diversity in the wider industry, training on unconscious bias, and networking mums.

Rachel Munro, co-founder of the WoW Networking Group said: ““We’re a unique networking group, we don’t charge a membership fee, however, are keen to find lunch sponsor s. It’s simply an opportunity to network with like-minded women in an informal atmosphere”.

Georgia Burbridge, also a co-founder, added: “I think the reason for the success of the Women of Waterproofing Networking group is that we never forget why we are there; ultimately we are all there to make connections and help each other do business more effectively, whilst the lunch and socialising are fun. We believe that a strong network of peers and role models can be the first step towards attracting, retaining and inspiring women to join the waterproofing sector”.

The WOW ladies agreed half yearly networking lunches would suit the group until more members were able to join and then looking to hold more regular lunches as the networking group evolves.

The next luncheon date is Friday 14 June 2019.
