ALBUM renews Women in Transport partnership

ALBUM has renewed its partnership with Women in Transport for another year, extending multiple benefits to member operators and suppliers.

The collaboration between both organisations started in 2023, with an objective to help to change the female under-representation across the bus industry and support bus operators in their equality, diversity and inclusion aims.

The partnership has already led to several benefits for members of ALBUM, and further plans to develop the ongoing benefits for members include exclusive events and support throughout the year. This is in addition to the opportunity for members to gain discounted or free memberships with Women in Transport and attend multiple events throughout the year.

“ALBUM is proud to continue working with Women in Transport” – Bill Hiron, Chairman of ALBUM

Bill Hiron, Chairman of ALBUM, said: “ALBUM is proud to continue working with Women in Transport. Their commitment to diversity and inclusion in the bus industry aligns well with our objectives. We are excited to collaborate on initiatives that will drive positive change and support the development of a more equitable industry.

“Together, we can achieve more and positively impact the future of transport.  Last year, our partnership provided multiple memberships to ALBUM operators and allowed one of our members from Warrington’s Own Buses to take part in the mentorship programme.  We were also delighted to have Women in Transport (WIT) speakers at our 2023 and 2024 Annual Conference.  This year, we have even more collaborative plans to support ALBUM members alongside WIT, including webinars and special events.”

“This partnership renewal includes collaboration across several key projects for Women in Transport” – Dal Kailrai, Interim CEO of Women in Transport

Dal Kailrai, Interim CEO of Women in Transport, also expressed her enthusiasm about the renewal: “We are thrilled that ALBUM has renewed its partnership with us, reaffirming our shared mission to build a strong network and community within the transport sector that can make a real impact. This partnership renewal includes collaboration across several key projects for Women in Transport including our Diversity and Inclusion Bus Group, the Advance mentoring programme and our 2024 Equity Index.

“The invaluable support of ALBUM is helping us support gender equity in transport nationally and make a positive impact across the sector as a whole. We look forward to our continued collaboration and the promising future ahead.”
