At Drax Technology, we believe in fostering diversity, inclusion, and innovation within the fire safety industry. These values are not only central to our mission but also to the wider industry we are proud to be a part of. This year, we were thrilled to have sponsored the prestigious Women in Fire Safety (WIFS) Awards, an event that celebrates and amplifies the vital contributions of women in the fire safety sector.
As part of the Obsequio Group, Drax Technology has long been an advocate for increasing gender diversity and creating opportunities for women in traditionally male-dominated sectors, such as fire safety. We understand that a diverse workforce leads to new ideas, fresh perspectives, and ultimately better outcomes for the industry as a whole. Supporting women in fire safety is not just about promoting gender equality; it's about empowering the entire sector to grow and innovate.
The WIFS Awards embody this ethos by recognising women who have made outstanding contributions to fire safety, whether through groundbreaking initiatives, innovative leadership, or a dedication to protecting lives and property. These are the very qualities that we at Drax Technology and the Obsequio Group strive to uphold, and with a number of finalists from the Obsequio Group It was only natural for us to sponsor an event that aligns so closely with our core values and goals.
Why the WIFS Awards Matter
The Women in Fire Safety Awards provide an important platform to honour the women leading the way in fire safety. By shining a spotlight on their achievements, the awards help to challenge the status quo and inspire future generations of women to pursue careers in this critical field. For us, being involved in such an event allows us to actively contribute to this shift towards a more inclusive industry.
This year’s awards celebrated women from all walks of life and across various roles in the fire safety sector—from engineers and fire risk assessors to business leaders and innovators. Their stories of perseverance, skill, and leadership are a testament to what women can achieve in this field. We are incredibly proud to support an initiative that not only highlights their successes but also encourages more women to follow in their footsteps.
As we look forward, we’re excited to see how this year’s award winners will continue to shape the future of fire safety. Their leadership and achievements inspire us all, and we are honoured to have played a part in celebrating their successes.
