The awards, which highlight women who are making a measurable impact in their organisations and inspiring others to do the same, form part of the Automotive 30% Club’s mission to improve gender balance across the sector.
To promote inclusive leadership, the Automotive 30% Club aims to see at least 30% of key leadership positions in the automotive industry filled by women by 2030.
