2014 Women in Industry Awards- Finalists Announced

Manufacturers’ Monthly, Pace and Australian Mining are proud to announce finalists for the inaugural Women in Industry Awards have been selected from a list of impressive candidates.

The only awards program of its kind to encompass mining, manufacturing and engineering, the 2014 Women in Industry Awards aims to recognise and reward the achievements of women working in the industrial sectors.

The program aims to recognise women who are leading change in their chosen field and breaking down the barriers in what can often be male-dominated industries.

The awards seek to single out and reward women who have created innovations, driven productivity, spearheaded change, and provided social and economic benefits through their fields.

With over 60 entries, it’s clear industry sectors were keen to have its women recognised, and the positive feedback we have received since launching the awards further cements the importance in its overarching message.

The entries come from a wide range of differing companies and disciplines and all have one thing in common: excellence.

We congratulate each and every finalist and look forward to see you all on Wednesday the 25th of June at the awards dinner.
