Decodifi is proud to announce that Charlie Bartle, managing director, has won the Women in Digital Award at the Yorkshire Business Woman Awards 2025.

She also extended her gratitude to David Pearce, acknowledging his ongoing support and contributions to the digital sector.

Her win comes at a pivotal time for gender diversity in the UK tech industry.

Despite making up half of STEM graduates, women represent just 26% of the UK tech workforce. Leadership opportunities remain limited, with only 5% of senior positions in the sector held by women.

The gender pay gap in tech stands at 16%, significantly higher than the UK mean average of 6.9%. Meanwhile, just 3% of young women consider a career in technology their first choice, highlighting the need for greater representation and support for women in digital industries (STEM Women).

By celebrating leaders like Charlie, the industry can encourage more women into technology and leadership roles, helping to build a more diverse and inclusive future in digital innovation.

"This award is a great recognition of the progress being made by women in digital, but it also highlights the need for more representation in the sector. Throughout my career, I’ve seen the value that diverse perspectives bring to technology and innovation. Encouraging more young women to explore careers in tech is essential to building a more balanced and inclusive industry, and I hope this recognition helps to reinforce that message." – Charlie Bartle.

Why tax returns are forcing women to rethink their careers

There's a very specific moment that happens for many professional women at this time of year, and it has nothing to do with spring motivation or fresh starts. It arrives when they're doing their tax return, and what begins as a financial exercise often becomes something far more revealing. Dr Claire Kaye, a former award-winning NHS GP turned career and confidence coach, sees it repeatedly in her practice: women who sit down to work through their figures and, in the process of calculating what
