International Women’s Day (IWD), celebrated annually on March 8th, is a global day dedicated to honouring the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women around the world. It’s a day to reflect on progress made, to call for change, and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in their communities and workplaces.
At teclan, we’re fortunate to have a talented team of women who play vital roles in driving our success. From leadership positions to frontline roles, these women contribute their unique skills, experiences, and perspectives to our company, making us stronger, more innovative, and more inclusive. Today, we celebrate and honour these remarkable women for their achievements, their leadership, and their commitment to making a difference.
