National Highways podcasts
Through our podcasts, we'll explore the future of England’s motorways and major roads – how we can make them safer, greener, digitally transformed and more reliable.
We can't create a sustainable future for everybody unless we champion equality and diversity across our organisation and our partners in the transport sector.
Episode 1 - Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow
This year’s International Women in Engineering Day (23 June 2022) celebrates the inventors and innovators who are building a better future for us all.
We want to encourage more women in transport to step confidently into the role of leader. Their skills and experiences as women are both valuable and valued in our industry, and crucial for a sustainable future.
In our first podcast, leading female innovators and inventors in road transport discuss how best to support women’s leadership.
