Diversity & Inclusion Statement
Building a stronger engineering community through diverse perspectives and inclusive practices.
Our Commitment
At Preformed Windings, we believe that innovation in engineering thrives when people from different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives work together. We are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where every individual is valued, respected, and empowered to contribute to our mission of improving the reliability of global energy infrastructure.
Championing Diversity in Engineering
We are proud sponsors of the Diversity in Engineering Award at the AEMT Awards. This sponsorship reflects our deep belief that the future of engineering depends on attracting and retaining talent from the widest possible pool. The energy sector faces significant skills challenges, and we believe that a more diverse and inclusive industry is essential to meeting them.

Our Principles
The following principles guide our approach to diversity and inclusion across every area of our business:
Equal Opportunity
We provide equal employment opportunities regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation. All employment decisions are based on merit, qualifications, and business need.
Inclusive Recruitment
We actively work to attract candidates from diverse backgrounds and ensure our recruitment processes are free from unconscious bias. We welcome applicants from all walks of life and judge every candidate on their skills, experience, and potential.
Respectful Workplace
We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards discrimination, harassment, victimisation, and bullying. Every employee has the right to work in an environment where they are treated with dignity and respect.
Development for All
We invest in the development and progression of all our employees, ensuring that training opportunities, promotions, and career development are accessible to everyone based on their individual potential and performance.
Listening & Learning
We recognise that building a truly inclusive workplace is an ongoing journey. We actively seek feedback from our employees, listen to their experiences, and continuously improve our policies and practices.
Supporting the Next Generation
We are committed to inspiring the next generation of engineers from all backgrounds. Through our work with industry bodies including EASA, AEMT, NHA, and IHA, we actively support initiatives that promote engineering careers to underrepresented groups. We believe that a diverse talent pipeline is essential for the long-term health of the energy infrastructure sector and we are committed to playing our part.
Our Global Perspective
As a company that serves energy infrastructure on every continent, we understand the value that cultural diversity brings to our work. Our relationships with customers and partners in dozens of countries have taught us that the best engineering solutions come from teams that reflect the global community they serve. We bring this perspective into everything we do, from product design to customer service.
Accountability
Overall responsibility for diversity and inclusion at Preformed Windings rests with the board of directors. We monitor our workforce composition, regularly review our policies, and hold ourselves accountable for progress. Any employee who believes they have experienced or witnessed discrimination is encouraged to raise the matter through our internal grievance procedures or by contacting us confidentially at info@preformedwindings.com .
