BT Group/Openreach Pay Deal 2025
All CWU Members working in BT Group
She Connects the Nation
In celebration of International Women in Engineering Day – BT & Openreach
She builds the lines that keep us near,
Across each town, from far to here.
With Openreach beneath her boots,
She lays the ground for stronger roots.
In cabinets green and cables tight,
She works through day, she works through night.
From BT’s labs to streets she knows,
She makes the UK’s network grow.
With every splice and every pole,
She plays a vital, leading role.
She engineers with grit and pride—
A nation’s voice is amplified.
She breaks old barriers with resolve,
And finds new ways for us to evolve.
She codes, she climbs, she plans, she leads—
She answers broadband’s growing needs.
So here’s to her—bold, sharp, and true—
In fibre fields or skies of blue.
Today we stand and say her name:
A woman’s strength lights up our game.
