Transport award presented to TfL head of campaigns Jo Field

Jo Field, head of campaigns at Transport for London, was among the winners at the FTA everywoman in Transport & Logistics Awards 2016 ceremony in London. Field was named Industry Champion of the Year at the ceremony, which was held at the Hilton on Park Lane. 

The annual awards celebrate the success of women working in the UK transport and logistics industry.

Caroline Rose, head of regional Operations at TNT Express, was presented with the Woman of the Year award. Described as a “visionary team leader with a proven track record for leading teams,” Rose has led depots and staff to set the standard for new initiatives across the organisation. 

FTA’s chief executive David Wells said: “As judges we were asked to find the woman who really stood out amongst the finalists; someone whose innovation, dedication, vision and success made her an outstanding role model. Caroline was all of those things.

“It is fantastic to see that all of this year’s winners work in very different roles in our industry, and come from organisations as diverse as Shell, TNT and Heathrow Express, reflecting the varying options for those contemplating a career in logistics or transport.”

The FTA everywoman in Transport & Logistics Awards were launched nine years ago to raise awareness of the varied and rewarding careers that the transport and logistics sector offers, with the aim of increasing the number of women considering it as a career choice.
