#InternationalWomensDay 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 🌍💜 For 𝗔𝗟𝗟 women and girls: 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀. 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁. Today, we celebrate the achievements and contributions of women everywhere. This year’s International Women’s Day calls for action to unlock equal rights and opportunities for all - building a future where no one is left behind. A future where women and girls are empowered to drive lasting change. At AVK UK Ltd, we are dedicated to cultivating an inclusive environment where women are empowered to excel in every role. Laura Coleman, our esteemed receptionist at our Staveley site, exemplifies this commitment. We asked Laura what rights, equality, and empowerment mean to her and how they impact her work life. Here is what she shared: 💬 "To me, rights, equality, and empowerment mean having a voice that is heard, feeling supported, and being encouraged to grow. Since joining AVK UK Ltd, I’ve gained more confidence in myself and my abilities, knowing that my contributions are valued. For example, I recently took on the role of onsite auditor, a rewarding experience where I get to step onto the shop floor in my high-vis jacket and actively engage in daily operations. I really enjoy it. Every role matters and I’m proud to be part of a team where everyone’s efforts contribute to our collective success" – Laura Coleman We are proud to celebrate the incredible contributions and achievements of women across the globe and within our own teams. 𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻! 🔥 What do rights, equality, and empowerment mean to you?
