Wetroom solutions manufacturer Impey has proudly sponsored the seventh annual Women Installers Together Conference, which took place on 4th July.
Women Installers Together (WIT) is the annual industry event for female tradespeople and is the brainchild of plumber, entrepreneur and owner of Stopcocks Group, Hattie Hasan MBE. Women from across the UK and further afield gathered in London Metropolitan University’s Great Hall to connect with other tradeswomen, discuss relevant issues, meet peers, share, learn and listen to a variety of speakers.
With a focus on diversity and inclusion, the WIT Conference offers both encouragement and motivation for attendees, many of which have never met another female tradesperson. The 2024 conference was the fourth time that Impey has sponsored the event.
Neil Whitehead, head of marketing at Impey, said: “We feel very proud to have attended the Women Installers Together Conference 2024. We have witnessed how the event has gone from strength to strength. Encouraging more women into the trades is vital. Offering our support to this event is hugely important to our business, to the bathroom industry as a whole and demonstrates our business-wide belief in equal opportunities. We were happy to be back supporting Hattie and her team this year.”
Steve Woolsey, business development manager at Impey, said: “WIT 2024 was a fabulous and inspiring day. Full of passion and we were very privileged that Impey could sponsor such a wonderful organisation and that WIT are in such great hands for the future.”
Shaun Hunt, technical and trade marketing manager at Impey, said: “The WIT event 2024 was energetic, vibrant and very focussed. The WIT team delivered an inspiring day of confidence building and professional camaraderie, which was hugely energising to this expanding group of installers of all ages.
“The day was based around sharing experiences and how to get over the daily challenges of the industry predominantly led by men and using the established community that the WIT events have created over the years for ongoing support.”
