AML Sheffield is proud to celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD) 2025 on March 8th by honouring the remarkable contributions of women in engineering and aerospace, especially the women in our team.
This year’s International Women’s Day (IWD) theme, “Accelerate Action,” emphasises the need for urgent and meaningful progress toward gender equality. The theme calls on individuals, organisations, and industries to take bold steps in breaking down barriers, challenging biases, and creating opportunities for women in all fields. AML Sheffield aligns with this theme by recognising and promoting the vital role women play in the aerospace sector. The company is committed to fostering an inclusive environment that supports and encourages women to excel in this field.
Why “Accelerate Action” Matters in Engineering & Aerospace
Engineering and aerospace are historically male-dominated fields, with women still under-represented in technical and leadership roles. While progress has been made, women continue to face challenges such as gender biases, lack of role models, and workplace cultures that can be less inclusive. The “Accelerate Action” theme encourages companies to go beyond discussions and take real, measurable steps to ensure greater representation and equality in the workforce.
AML Sheffield’s Commitment to Action
As an industry leader in advanced manufacturing, AML Sheffield recognises the importance of diversity in driving innovation. The company is committed to fostering an inclusive environment where women in engineering and aerospace can thrive. This commitment aligns with the “Accelerate Action” theme by:
- Encouraging More Women to Pursue STEM Careers – Partnering with The AMRC, AML’s dedicated apprenticeship program supports young women to explore careers in engineering
- Championing Female Engineers – Highlighting the achievements of women within AML Sheffield and across the aerospace sector
- Creating Supportive Work Environments – Implementing policies that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion, such as mentorship programs and flexible working arrangements
- Addressing Gender Gaps in Leadership – Actively promoting women into leadership roles and decision-making positions within the company
Building Momentum Beyond IWD 2025
IWD is more than just a single day of recognition—it’s a movement toward long-term, sustainable change. AML Sheffield is committed to continuing the conversation and taking action throughout the year to empower women in engineering and aerospace, ensuring they have the opportunities, support, and recognition they deserve.
By accelerating action today, AML Sheffield and the broader industry can help shape a future where women in engineering thrive, innovate, and lead.
