Women in Tech Employer Awards Heading to London in June
Hey there tech fans! Women in Tech has just dropped the news that the Women in Tech Employer Awards are on the way to London, June. These awards are open to every UK business that’s serious about smashing that gender gap in tech.
Why This Matters
- Only 17% of the tech workforce in the UK are women.
- Almost half of all STEM roles (43%) are hard‑to‑fill because we just don’t have enough candidates.
- Bringing more women into tech isn’t just nice—it’s essential for the UK to keep up on the global stage.
So, the awards are shining a spotlight on companies that are genuinely stepping up to help fill those gaps. They’re the real rockstars making tech inclusive.
When to Nominate Your Company
Mark your calendars: March 1st is open‑call time. Choose from these categories:
- Female Tech Employer of the Year
- Female Graduate Employer of the Year
- Women in Tech Network of the Year
- Recruitment Campaign of the Year
- Public Sector Female Tech Employer of the Year
- Recruitment Agency of the Year
Just head over to the Women in Tech website to toss your nomination in the hat.

What Charlotte Had to Say
“We’re super excited to launch the Women in Tech Employer Awards. There’s still a lot of work to do to close the gender gap, but the companies leading the charge are making a huge difference. Their efforts keep the UK from falling behind the competition,” says Charlotte Attwood.
