AFD Systems was proud to join the North West Regional Defence & Security Cluster (NWRDSC) to celebrate International Women’s Day, a day dedicated to recognising the achievements, contributions, and leadership of women across our region and industry.
This year’s event brought together an inspiring group of professionals who shared personal experiences, professional journeys, and the challenges and triumphs that have shaped their careers. The conversations were powerful, insightful, and a reminder of the vital role women play across defence, engineering, and technology.
Honouring the Women of AFD Systems
We are fortunate to have exceptional women within AFD Systems who continue to drive our organisation forward through their expertise, leadership, and dedication:
- Joanna Tolnai – Structures Engineer
- Bryony Goodall – Business & Executive Support Officer
- Hayley Berry – Quality Manager / Security Controller
- Keda Clark – Business Support Administrator
A special acknowledgement goes to Joanna Tolnai, whose commitment to engineering excellence represents the very best of our technical capability. Her insight, professionalism, and passion for innovation are a huge asset to AFD Systems.
A Day of Inspiration
The NWRDSC event highlighted the importance of creating environments where women are supported, encouraged, and empowered to thrive. With thought‑provoking sessions and open discussions, the day offered valuable perspectives on the future of women in engineering and defence.
AFD Systems extends sincere thanks to NWRDSC for hosting such a meaningful event that celebrates not only the achievements of women today but also the path we continue to build for tomorrow.
At AFD Systems, we remain committed to supporting women across our organisation and industry. Events like this reinforce the impact of representation, community, and shared experiences and we are honoured to be part of that progress.
