IWD 2023 embracing equity: Meet the Ticket Tailor women

Did you know that the UK tech workforce is only 26% female? We want to change that. 

Here at Ticket Tailor our team is 48% female, which we think is pretty good going. And today, on International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating the brilliance of women: in our community of event organisers, our team, and beyond. Keep reading to hear from some of the women that make up our team, about challenges we’ve faced, achievements in our careers and personal lives, and our future ambitions and advice for women looking to work in the tech industry.

Now, settle in with a cuppa and get ready to meet the team.👇
