MCDONOUGH, GA., (July 24, 2019) – The Women in Trucking Association (WIT) announced that Bennett International Group has been recognized as a Top Woman-Owned Business in Transportation by Women in Trucking’s Redefining the Road magazine.
WIT created the list to recognize women in leadership and encourage more women to become more proactive leaders in their organizations and even start their own businesses, said Elle Voie, president and CEO of WIT.
According to Brian Everett, publisher of Redefining the Road, entrepreneurship is a viable means of economic self-sufficiency, and many women are choosing an enterprise connected to transportation to be a part of their career aspirations.
Companies included on this list met certain criteria that includes: majority ownership by a woman, financial stability and growth, innovation and entrepreneurial spirit. Each company was also chosen based on business success and accomplishments that foster gender diversity.
“As always, we are thankful to be recognized by such a wonderful organization that advocates for women in our industry. Women in Trucking is doing their part to elevate trucking and logistics as great industries for women to thrive in,” said Marcia Taylor, CEO of Bennett International Group.
Bennett will be recognized during a special program at the Women in Trucking Accelerate! Conference & Expo, Sept. 30-Oct. 2 in Dallas, Texas. For the full list of other companies recognized by WIT, visit www.womenintrucking.org.
