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: “We’re blown away by the number of applications we received for what’s lining up to be an action-packed celebration of the industry’s very best talent. Thank you to everyone who took the time to nominate their colleagues – we’ve had some fantastic candidates put forward and narrowing it down to the final shortlist was incredibly difficult.

It will serve as a catalyst for driving positive change and advancing excellence within the automotive industry.
