I have decided to support two of the three applications that we received under the women in engineering call under the Employer Ownership Fund. The two companies will receive a total of £104k, £12k of which is planned to be drawn down by one of the companies in the current Financial Year. The Women in Engineering call is now closed. There are, however, further opportunities to support women engineers in the two Employer Ownership Fund calls that are currently open: supporting companies in the automotive supply chain and supporting engineering careers in smaller companies.<\/p>
