Superdrug joins The Tech Talent Charter

Superdrug has signed up to be a part of The Tech Talent Charter (TTC), a government sponsored initiative which aims to deliver greater diversity in the UK’s tech workforce.

Andrew Cobb, IT Director at Superdrug’s parent company A.S. Watson UK, says: “We’re proud to be able to support the next generation of women entering the tech workforce. By pledging to join the charter we can help to encourage more women to consider a career in the digital industries and see that it can be a challenging and rewarding career for anyone.”

“It’s vital for the industry to come together as a whole to do more to show females that a career in technology is incredibly rewarding, to increase the number of females working within the industry, to attract people who are considering a career change, and to encourage younger generations to consider these careers from the word go,” says TTC CEO Debbie Forster.

“One single company can’t do it alone, which is why we’re asking organisations to pledge their support for the Tech Talent Charter and join us on our exciting journey.”
