The Women Automotive Network’s main goal is to strive for gender equality and inclusivity within the automotive industry, hosting a number of networking opportunities and offering a range of benefits through its membership to raise awareness and encourage open conversations.

The Network is in regular communication with its members, and through proactively engaging with key industry professionals, it was able to identify a desire for a celebration of women in the industry, resulting in the creation of the highly anticipated Women Automotive Awards.

Stephanie May, commercial director of Women Automotive Network, said: “Firstly we’d like to offer our sincere congratulations to not only all of the worthy winners of our inaugural award ceremony, but also to all of those shortlisted – I don’t envy the judges, as it was incredibly close across the board!

“It’s our goal to celebrate diversity in the workplace, and honour exceptional individuals who have set new standards and demonstrated outstanding talent and dedication, and this ceremony has enabled us to do just that.”
