Here at Boult, we champion women and their achievements.
This Sunday 8 March is International Women’s Day. In the lead up to the day, we wanted to highlight some of the amazing recent sporting achievements of women at Boult.
The opportunities open to women in sport have not always been readily available. For example, it was only in 1972 in the USA and 1975 in the UK that women were allowed to take part in official marathons.
