Women in the fleet industry are being urged to enter the Barbara Cox Woman of the Year Award established to recognise women across the industry who have shown a commitment to leadership, innovation or community.

The winner, who will receive £5,000 to spend on their own personal development, will be announced on 8 March at a ‘Women with Drive’ event to celebrate International Women’s Day.

Nominations will be reviewed by a panel of judges that includes Fleet News’ deputy editor Sarah Tooze, Marshall Motor Group chief executive Daksh Gupta, Cox Automotive UK chief executive Martin Forbes, and chief people officer Alison Fisher.

Alison Fisher said: “Although the motor industry is undoubtedly still a male-dominated sector, there are many businesses working hard to encourage more female talent to enter the sector.”

Nominations for the award are invited from across the automotive industry and should be entered by the end of January 2019.
