International Men’s Day 2025

On the 19th November, we celebrated International Men’s Day. The day recognises the positive contributions that men have made to our workplaces, families and communities. While this day serves to celebrate men’s achievements, it also reminds us of the challenges men face and how important it is to raise awareness of these issues.

At CAN we are proud of the men in our workplace and believe in fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone, regardless of their gender, feels supported. 🤝

This year’s theme is ‘Celebrating Men and Boys’, so we asked a selection of our male employees ‘In your opinion, what are the positive values men and boys bring to their families, communities, and the world?’

Here’s what they said ⬇️

Russell Sloan – Head of Projects

In my opinion men and boys demonstrate positive values such as reliability, responsibility and support to families and communities. This can be anything from immediate family, residing in the same home, to distant relatives and friends across the globe. These diverse contributions demonstrate positive role model attributes and help foster and maintain relationships both on a personal as well as a professional level.

Charlie Collings – Mechanical Design Engineer

In my opinion, men can bring meaningful strengths to their families, communities, and the world – values such as perseverance and resilience to overcome challenges, leadership and guidance to create supportive environments, and a problem-solving mindset that helps drive positive progress.
