Backing women pursuing careers in wind energy
Hull Daily Mail
|April 17, 2025
AN East Yorkshire-based wind power specialist has underlined its commitment to empowering women to pursue careers in the wind energy industry.
Through its Women into Wind campaign, Boston Energy is supporting more women to enter the rapidly-growing sector and fostering greater gender diversity within the workforce.
The initiative aims to encourage more women to consider careers in the field by offering hands-on training, mentorship, career development and opportunities to help women thrive and lead.
Boston Energy works internationally, supplying skilled technicians to global wind farm developers and operators.
The company has worked on more than 100 offshore and onshore wind farms across the world since 2012, with its technicians working on more than 6,000 turbines from pre-assembly and installation to maintenance.
Most recent research from the International Renewable Energy Agency found that just 21 per cent of the global wind industry workforce is made up of women, with only eight per cent holding senior management positions.
