About us
WUN was started in 2018 when a group of five like minded women, working in utilities, united around a common cause. All came with differing experiences and very different career paths, but had achieved seniority within their own organisations. What bonded the founders, was a common frustration about, and a passion to improve gender balance, equality and equity across the sector. They all felt that they'd achieved seniority against all odds and it was a lonely place to be a woman. And from there the Womens Utilities Network was founded. WUN provides a platform to give women support to enable their personal growth and career development. Core to the ethos of WUN is providing practical help and support to our members, through events, podcasts, mentoring and opportunities to network. WUN also launched the first Women In Utilities Awards in 2024 to high acclaim. As the WUN movement grows it is constantly extending its offer and seeking opportunities to create positive change in the sector as women remain under-represented at senior levels and at all levels face into daily challenges associated with working in a male dominated work environment. WUN is free to join and aims to be as inclusive as possible in its work.
