XPO Logistics holds fifth annual UK Female Driver Forum at company’s national distribution centre in Crick, Northamptonshire

XPO,
a leading provider of innovative and sustainable end-to-end logistics solutions across Europe,
held its fifth annual UK Female Driver Forum this week. The forum provided
a safe space for female drivers to bring matters of concern to the attention of XPO´s senior management and to network.

As in previous years, all XPO Logistics female drivers were invited to attend the forum, which took place at the company’s national distribution
centre in Crick, Northamptonshire. This is the second UK Female Driver Forum, which took place in 2024. Since the first one, held in April, XPO Logistics has increased its number of female drivers by 20 in the UK and Ireland
and hopes to boost this number even further this year.

The forum covered several topics, including Neurodiversity in the Workplace, which is at the heart of XPO’s workplace equality and diversity values. It also hosted
an interactive session for female drivers to provide operational feedback to help the company best support them.

Lynn Brown, vice president – human resources – UK and Ireland, XPO Logistics, said: “We are excited to have been able to run our second Female Driver Forum this
year, not only to celebrate the successes of our female drivers but to allow them to spend time discussing the topics that matter to them. Our Female Driver Academy has been instrumental in helping us move towards our goal of increasing the number of female
drivers in our business and ensuring that we understand and remove any impediments to our progress. We want to continue encouraging more women to pursue this rewarding career.”
