We're thrilled to be the headline partner of the Women in Motor Industry awards as part of our ongoing commitment to championing diversity and inclusions. These awards celebrate the many remarkable achievements of women in our industry, and we hope they will inspire more female leaders and innovators. For this to happen, we need to make sure we have an industry women not only want to work in, but want a career in. This event supports our commitment to making this happen and creating a diverse and inclusive industry.

The industry must come together to create a more inclusive and supportive environment where women are not only welcomed but empowered to succeed. At Solera we are dedicated to highlighting and supporting the contributions of women across all areas of the business and inspiring the next generation to follow in their footsteps. By doing this we are already taking advantage of this talent pool to accelerate the pace of change, improve our product and service proposition and drive forward a more diverse, skilled, and sustainable future. Let us recognise the challenges, but more importantly, embrace the possibilities. The motor industry has always been a place of innovation and progress. Now is the time to ensure that it is also a place of inclusion and opportunity, for everyone.
