Women in Manufacturing: Celebrating our impact

International Women’s Day (IWD) is a global holiday celebrated annually. This year, under the theme #InspireInclusion, we are taking the opportunity to acknowledge the remarkable achievements of women worldwide and their invaluable contribution to society.

At Remsdaq, a Welsh-based manufacturing company with a family focus, we embrace International Women’s Day with immense pride. For us, it is about spotlighting the indispensable role women play in helping to drive our company forward and shape our culture of inclusivity and innovation. Through our commitment to #InspireInclusion, we aim to create a workplace where everyone, regardless of their gender, feels valued, respected, and empowered to succeed.

Breaking Barriers

In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in employment as more women have entered the manufacturing sector and challenged existing stereotypes.

At Remsdaq, women are driving innovation across all aspects of our company, including engineering, design, sales, HR, administration and health & safety.

Driving Economic Growth

The contributions of women in manufacturing extend beyond the factory floor. As key decision-makers, entrepreneurs, and industry experts, women are pivotal in driving economic growth and competitiveness in the UK. Their expertise, ingenuity, and determination are instrumental in propelling the manufacturing sector forward, creating jobs, driving innovation, and strengthening the country’s position in the global market.

Inspiring the Next Generation

Most importantly, women in manufacturing serve as role models, inspiring the next generation to pursue STEM careers. Through outreach programs, mentorship initiatives, and educational partnerships, they are actively working to bridge the gender gap and cultivate a diverse and inclusive workforce for the future.

We really enjoyed hosting this special event at the House of Lords and marking the success of ePay Merchant Services, as well as seeing Small Business Saturday into its second decade in the UK.”

Empowering Female Talent

Our commitment to #InspireInclusion is evident in the diverse talents of our female team members. In engineering, a female engineer brings a unique perspective, fuelling innovation in our product development. Our sales and marketing department has a woman expanding our global presence with strategic insight. Behind the scenes, in finance, purchasing, administration, and HR, skilled women ensure smooth operations. In our SHEQ department, vigilant women uphold health and safety protocols. In manufacturing, we have dedicated female operatives and wirepersons who contribute to highquality production on our shop floor.

Conclusion

The contributions of women at Remsdaq and within the manufacturing industry are invaluable and deserving of recognition. As we honour the achievements of women on this IWD, let us continue to empower female leaders, inspire future generations, and create a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to succeed.
