WiN UK’s mission is to address the industry’s gender balance, improving the representation of women in leadership and engaging with the public on nuclear issues.

The role of Patron involves helping to gain government and industry support, and raising the profile of WiN UK and its objectives.

David Peattie said:

I’m honoured to take on this role with WiN UK because I am passionate about the positive impact of diverse teams in business. I believe WiN UK has an important part to play in making change happen.

I’d like to thank Adriènne Kelbie, CEO of the Office for Nuclear Regulation, who has achieved so much during her time as WiN UK Patron - driving many businesses and individuals to make a difference across the industry.

Jack Gritt, President of WiN UK, said:

David Peattie’s appointment as our Patron is great news for us and reflects, yet again, the importance of gender balance in our industry… We’re energised by his positive view of the future.
