At MissionCX, we believe that great businesses are built by great people. Today, as we celebrate International Women’s Day, we want to take a moment to recognise the incredible women who make our business stronger, more dynamic, and more successful every day.
Spotlight on Joanne Slater: A Decade of Dedication
One of the most influential women in our business is Joanne Slater, our Operations Director and one of the key founders of MissionCX. Alongside Ben Slater, Joanne was instrumental in establishing MissionCX 10 years ago, shaping it into the leading commissioning company it is today.
Joanne is not just a leader—she embodies what MissionCX stands for. She is:
💪 Hardworking & Committed – Always going the extra mile for both clients and employees.
💡 A True Leader – She leads by example, ensuring that our projects run seamlessly while prioritising our team’s development.
🛡️ Unshakeable Under Pressure – Her superpower? The ability to stay calm, focused, and in control no matter how challenging the situation.
👥 An Advocate for People – Joanne lives and breathes MissionCX, ensuring that everyone in the business feels valued, supported, and empowered.
Quite simply, we would not be where we are today without her. Thank you, Joanne, for your leadership, dedication, and for making MissionCX what it is today.

At MissionCX, we champion diversity and inclusion across the board—not just in gender equality, but in every aspect of our business. We firmly believe that a balanced team leads to a balanced business, and we are proud to foster an environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive, lead, and succeed.
The Bigger Picture: Inclusion & Equality in Our Industry
The engineering, nuclear, and commissioning sectors have historically been male-dominated, but that is changing. More and more talented women are forging careers in these industries, breaking barriers, and leading innovation. At MissionCX, we actively support this shift by:
âś… Encouraging more women to explore careers in commissioning & engineering
âś… Providing mentorship and leadership opportunities
✅ Creating a workplace culture that values every individual’s contribution
As we celebrate International Women’s Day, we reflect on how far the industry has come, but also on how much more there is to do. Diversity drives innovation, inclusion builds stronger teams, and equality paves the way for future success.
Final Thoughts: A Day to Celebrate, A Mission to Continue
Today is about celebrating Joanne, our incredible team, and all the women shaping our industry’s future. But our commitment to diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunity is not just for today—it’s part of our ongoing MissionCX culture.
So, to Joanne, to our team, and to women everywhere making an impact in our sector and beyond—thank you. 💜
