They are among five females in Derbyshire who have been awarded a place in the final of this year’s awards.

The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony and lunch at the Royal Lancaster, London on June 24.
Nicole Goodwin and Sophie Catto, joint managing directors of AllBright everywoman, said: “Every year, the calibre of nominations reminds us just how much exceptional talent exists across this industry and this year's finalists are no exception. At a time when the sector is being reshaped by automation, AI and the drive towards net zero, it's more important than ever to ensure women are leading that transformation. These finalists are doing exactly that and we hope their stories inspire the next generation to see transport and logistics as a sector where they can thrive."
