A new association dedicated to connecting, supporting and championing women across the road transport industry in the UK and Ireland will officially launch with a firewalk event in Coventry on Friday 27 November 2026.
The Women’s Association of Trucking UK & Ireland (WATUKI) has been founded by Claire McKinlay and Laura Muir, with the aim of building a supportive and inclusive community for women working across all areas of the transport and logistics sector.
Recognising the important contributions women make throughout the industry, the association welcomes professional HGV drivers, transport managers, fleet operators, business owners, logistics professionals and women working in administrative, planning and management roles.
Under the message “Connecting & Championing Women in Trucking”, the association aims to provide a platform where women can share experiences, celebrate achievements, access professional development opportunities and contribute to positive change within the industry.
