The face of Industrial & Logistics is changing – let it open the door for you
Beyond the high-rise dotted skylines and crowded city pavements of our capital cities lies the engine room of our economy: Australia’s industrial & logistics sector. Everything around us is powered by the industrial & logistics sector – from the shoes that you wear (and the record speed they were delivered in via online shopping), to the train you caught to work this morning. Everything you physically touch has, almost certainly, spent some of its lifetime in a manufacturing facility, warehouse or distribution centre – and quite possibly all three!
Employing more than 25% of the Australian labour force, the industrial & logistics market has an impressive footprint spanning 151 million square metres and contributes AU$423 billion to Australia’s GDP. It is diverse and fast paced. Dynamic and technology driven. It’s challenging, but rewarding. Supportive and innovative. More importantly, the face of industrial & logistics is changing and it is opening doors for women in the property industry.
