Williams has announced it will be sponsoring this year’s Women Installers Together Conference, which is due to take place in Central London on 6 July 2022.

Women Installers Together (WIT), the only national event for all women plumbers, gas engineers, and other tradeswomen and trainees returns to London after a ‘pandemic break’ of two years. Williams have secured Mandy Hickson, one of the first woman fast jet fighter pilots, as a speaker for the event.

Ray Stafford, MD of Williams, commented: “We are excited to be supporting the WIT event in July.

“Williams recognise the invaluable work that Hattie Hasan MBE and the team at Stopcocks are doing to raise the profile of the plumbing industry as a desirable career path for women, increasing the numbers of women Plumbers and Heating Engineers and improving conditions for tradeswomen and the industry as a whole.

“We have been supporters of the event since 2017 and are delighted we can take that relationship to the next level.”
 
Hattie Hasan MBE, founder and CEO of Stopcocks Group, added: “We’re delighted to partner with Williams and bring such an exciting speaker to WIT this July. 

“Mandy Hickson’s story is genuinely breath-taking at times, she’s a real inspiration. Williams bring fantastic customer service to the next level and we recommend them as a supplier to all the women plumbers and heating engineers we encounter! 

“All the research suggests that tradeswomen have excellent customer service and we’re stopcock-a-hoop to partner with Williams who’ve won awards for exactly this!”
 
Committed to increasing the number of females in the industry and improving conditions for tradeswomen, the Stopcocks Group created the annual event to celebrate the resilience and achievements of women in the industry.
