I have been working within the Automotive industry since 2004, and have witnessed the evolution of women within the sector. I joined the business as a Senior HR Advisor, covering the South East, within 2 years I was given the opportunity to be promoted to HR Manager for the whole company. I was always supported and allowed to demonstrate my ability in order to receive this promotion. I was supported to achieve my CIPD Level 7 at this time, and I am a Chartered Member of the professional community.
My exposure to the strategic side of the business was increased to enable me to continuously develop a full range of professional skills whilst showcasing my full range of attributes to the business. It provided me with the opportunity to take on the role of Group HR Director. I’m immensely proud of both myself and the company to be the first female on the Operational Board and was entirely indicative of the importance placed on the Equality people agenda for the group.
Since then, my responsibilities have increased to incorporate the Learning and Development operation of the group; and to build an equality strategy as part of this. I have now
joined the Cambria Automobiles Main Board.
I look to inspire other females in the business, those wishing to join the business, in my own team and my own 2 daughters that you can reach for your goals and succeed; I want to empower our associates and support the continued growth of this at Cambria Automobiles

From a young age, I was intrigued by motorsport, which led me to try out rallying as a hobby. To this day, my happy place is being at a racetrack. This passion I have for automotive led me to a career in marketing within the automotive industry.
I have been extremely fortunate, throughout my
career that I have been able to view the automotive sector through the lens of the manufacturer, agency & dealer.
I joined Cambria Automobiles in 2012, as marketing manager, representing the high luxury brands within Grange Motors. In the past 10 years my role has evolved with the ever-changing landscape. Cambria has allowed me to develop, learn and grow new skills professionally and personally.
I am very passionate about my role, and I am very lucky to work with some incredible brands and people. My role allows me to create amazing experiences for our guests, this year I will be organizing specific events for women. It is a passion of mine to drive more women into automotive and to get behind the wheel.
I would encourage anyone who has a passion for the automotive sector, not to be put off, as what can be perceived as a male-dominated industry. Follow your dreams and passion always!
