AutoRaise celebrates International Women’s Day

AutoRaise marked International Women’s Day (8 March 2022) by highlighting the successes of female apprentices and leaders in the industry, while also raising awareness of the challenges women continue to face.

International Women’s Day has been promoting positive change in both industry and society for more than a century, and this year takes place under the banner, #BreakTheBias.

AutoRaise celebrated the day by emphasising the great contribution women have made to the automotive aftermarket industry, often overcoming gender expectations to do so.

Dave Sargeant, AutoRaise chairman, said: “Accepting that women may suffer difficulties in the workplace is no longer acceptable in 2022. We all play a role in helping women’s success, which is why Gemini employs female apprentices who we hope will pave the way for other women to enter the business.” 

Steve Thompson, director, added: “It is vital to develop an environment that promotes inclusion and accelerates diversity in the workplace. Developing and enabling women to join our industry is not only the correct thing to do, but it is also critical to our industry’s success.”
