CILT (UK) The Importance of Male Allyship
Speakers:
Darren Twiselton - Global Logistics Director - ZigZag Global
Richard Stevens - Managing Director at Plymouth Citybus Ltd
Join us for an honest and practical conversation about the essential role men play in accelerating gender equity across supply chain, logistics and transport. This session explores what meaningful allyship looks like in everyday behaviour — and how we can build cultures where supporting women becomes normal practice, not a special effort.
What we’ll cover:
✅ Why Male Allyship Matters
How men influence culture, inclusion and progression
Why mixed‑gender action drives faster, longer‑lasting change
✅ What Good Allyship Looks Like
Speaking up, challenging bias and backing women in key moments
Advocating for women in the rooms they aren’t in
Creating psychologically safe environments where all voices are heard
✅ Avoiding Performative Allyship
Behaviours that help — and those that unintentionally harm
How to get allyship right (even when you make mistakes)
✅ How Women Can Engage Allies Effectively
Inviting men into the conversation
Creating shared accountability
Role‑modelling inclusive behaviours
