Rebecca and Jill award the winners - Natalie Herbert, Michelle Cornish (Rebecca/ Jill) and Danita McGregor.

Hunter Cilta hosted their latest function on the 2nd of May with a specific theme of Women Moving Forward in Transport and Logistics.

The night was supported by guest speaker Jill Lewis , current Manager for the Australian Trucking Association (ATA) NSW. Jill gave an enlightening history of her family life that blended with a successful working career which took in the banking sector and being CEO of Timber Communities Australia(TCA).

The night was well attended and for the first time in Cilta Hunter history there were more ladies in attendance than gentlemen. Great to see.

In promoting women in the transport and logistics industry, Cilta Hunter sponsored 3 membership to the Women Moving Forward mentoring programme run by Cilta.

Our three worthy winners were Natalie Herbert and Danita McGregor from the armed services and Michelle Cornish of Mountain Industries. The calibre of nomination was exceptional and we congratulate all three ladies.
