AeroWomen is a celebration of women in Aerospace and each year hosts a conference filled with speakers, workshops and a panel with the aim of creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for women at all stages of their aerospace career.

This year’s theme was “From Astronauts to Analytics: Women Shaping Aerospace Careers”.

A huge thank you to this years truly inspirational speakers, who shared their own personal stories and experiences.

We are also proud to share that Morson Project’s Associate Director Becky Veal was also invited to join the afternoon panel session, sharing her lived experience and how she overcame challenges in her career. Becky joined the panel alongside other inspirational women from across the industry including:

  • Charlea Boucher, Project Officer at Leonardo Helicopters
  • Shanice Woodman, ATCO at London Biggin Hill Airport
  • Mavis Rowland, Engineering Delivery Manager at Babcock
  • Moderator: Helen Haxel, Head of External Communications at Leonardo Helicopters

Becky shared of the event:

“I was delighted to be invited to join the fourth annual AeroWomen event as a guest panellist and to have the opportunity to reflect on my own personal experiences within the sector over the past 20 years, which I hoped inspired others as they embark on their aerospace careers.

“I have been fortunate to meet the inspiring women behind “AeroWomen” and witness their passionate efforts to promote change in the aerospace industry to make it more inclusive and diverse. The day was a celebration of women uniting, feeling inspired to advance their own careers, and to also offer encouragement to the next generation in STEM.”

“It was fantastic to attend an Aero event where the vast majority of attendees were women, celebrating their achievements in Aerospace and promoting genuine change in the industry. I was deeply inspired by the incredible guest speakers who shared their personal journeys and the valuable lessons they learnt along the way.

“In line with my pledge to supporting women within the aerospace industry, I am excited to contribute to the Next Gen Mentoring programme.  I look forward to fostering personal and professional growth for the next generation of business leaders.”

Events like AeroWomen are helping to inflict change on the aerospace industry to make it more inclusive and diverse. A huge thank you to the AeroWomen Committee for executing a fantastic event and inviting Morson Projects to be part of it.
