Charge point operator Liberty Charge is celebrating International Women’s Day with its growing team – 50% of whom identify as women.

Amanda Pun, Legal Director at Liberty Charge, said the firm put gender diversity at the heart of its operation.

She said: “As a business and as an industry, we have an excellent opportunity to unravel unhelpful stereotypes and gender bias in the workplace, and ensure even greater representation of women in senior roles. 

“Having a diverse workforce means that CPOs can better represent the society they serve, and therefore have a better understanding of EV drivers and their needs.”  

Gail Rowe, Liberty Charge’s Head of Planning and Impact, argues that International Women’s Day is worth celebrating.

She said: It gives us a day to reflect on what we’re achieving together. Creating an environment which encourages women and people from different backgrounds to be involved in what has historically been a male dominated industry makes me proud to be a part of this business.”  

Agnese Chiesa, Marketing Manager at Liberty Charge, said it was “only the beginning” of the firm’s journey.

She said: “Working for a business that is not only making a real difference to our impact on the environment, but one that is also inclusive and diverse is what drives me.

“Our work doesn’t stop here, we’re committed to continuing to amplify the voices of women in this industry and leading the charge for change.”
