We empower, support, and inspire Women in Telecoms. Discover more about our group, what we do, and how you can get involved in shaping our industry’s future.
Our aim for this working group is to provide a tangible way for members of the telecom industry to show commitment to women’s development.
Please help us by encouraging all the women in your teams to join our Women in Telecoms community.
Together, we can help one another achieve career goals and amplify our voices on key industry issues.
The group is open to the wider telecoms industry, and we welcome non-CCUK members to join and participate.
We launched a new working group, Women in Telecoms, in September 2022 to sit alongside CCUK’s existing Industry Developments and Operations working groups.
This group was created to meet a growing demand from our members to give women working within our industry a regular opportunity to network, share career experiences, discuss hot topics and exchange ideas. Outputs feed into other groups as appropriate.
The group was started by Katie Baron from Gamma and Tracey Wright from Magrathea. In 2024 the Group selected new Co-Chairs – Natalie Strange from RPS Telecom and Lauren Croxson from Sangoma who now lead the group.
