WFN heads to the Glazing Summit with launch of WFN Allies

The Women in Fenestration Network will be at this year’s Glazing Summit, where we’ll also officially launch the next development for the network, WFN Allies.

From the beginning, WFN has been about creating opportunities for women across the fenestration industry to connect, develop and progress. But creating meaningful change isn’t something women can, or should, do alone.

That’s why we’re launching WFN Allies, an initiative designed to encourage men across the industry to actively support the development, progression and visibility of women within their businesses and the wider sector.

Being an ally isn’t about speaking on behalf of women. It’s about listening, advocating, opening doors, challenging barriers and recognising the role we can all play in creating a more inclusive industry where talent has the opportunity to thrive.

The Glazing Summit provides the perfect platform to start that conversation, bringing together leaders and professionals from across the fenestration and glazing sector.

Sioned Yates, WFN Co-founder, said:

“WFN was created to give women greater opportunities to connect, learn and develop, but if we genuinely want to make a difference across the industry, men need to be part of that conversation too.

“There are already some fantastic men in our industry who mentor, advocate for and create opportunities for women. WFN Allies is about recognising that and encouraging more people to think about the part they can play.”

The launch of WFN Allies marks another step in the development of the network, alongside WFN’s mentoring programme, professional development events, Lunch & Learn sessions, Industry Inside programme and WFN Conversations podcast.
