Blaze Manufacturing: Spending time to bring in the next generation

Attracting the next generation of workers is not about spending money, it's about spending time, according to Ann Johnson of Blaze Manufacturing:  “If we want diversity, its up to us.”

As the industry faces a particular recruitment challenge around young women, girls could look to OGUK, the OGTC or ONE and see female CEOs at the very top of those organisations, Ann points out, saying, “our role models are there already”.

Yet the fact remains that, for oil and gas, “so few women are involved within senior management positions” and changing that “starts right in the schools”.
