Elevate Wholesale launches Women in Channel community

Elevate Wholesale, the ground to cloud wholesale partner to the UK channel, is delighted to announce its Women in Channel community, which will formally launch on the 19th June, at their inaugural event at Balfour Winery in Kent, England’s ‘best vineyard to visit’.

‍

Teigan Kemp, Partner Account Manager at Elevate Wholesale, said: "We know that there are certain trials and tribulations that come with working in such a traditionally male-dominated sector. And we also know that, together, we can move our industry forward in a way that gives more women more opportunities to succeed."

According to the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER), women make up less than one fifth of the nation's telcoms workforce*. So few women in the industry means there are fewer mentors to inspire and support other women, creating a cycle of under-representation. This is exactly the tide Elevate Wholesale is hoping to turn with the new initiative, directly connecting women in the channel to share experience, mentor, support and generate business opportunities.

Emmeline Spann, Partner Account Manager at Elevate Wholesale, said "I've spent nine years working in a predominantly male industry, and I'm very proud of the impact I've made. Women make our channel offer and our wider business a success every day, and seeing this first hand has made me very passionate about proactively ensuing women that want to work in telecoms - and in the channel specifically - get the resources they need."
