â NEW networking event for Women in Businessâ
SHEdrives was born out of my 15 years experience in the automotive industry and engaging with women in business that work in traditionally male spaces.
While women are increasingly senior decision-makers, leaders and purchasers, many still feel uncomfortable or overlooked in traditional dealership environments. She Drives both celebrates women in leadership and those thriving in traditionally male-environments. The aim is to create an inclusive, welcoming environment to raise discussion around processes, systems and policies to support the mentorship, leverage and growth of women in leadership.
The name She Drives is intentional. It represents movement, momentum and progress, the drive required to create real change in our lives, businesses and workplaces. The event is rooted in the belief that inclusion doesnât happen by accident ; it is driven forward by women who are motivated to lead differently, challenge norms and be the change they want to see.
Come and join the first networking event in collaboration with Vertu Land Rover Truro in their showroom in Cornwall Business Park, Scorrier on Thursday 26th March from 5-7pm.
There will be elevated networking, a chance to speak with expert sales consultants and look around the new Landrover and Range Rover Models, plus a speaker panel of women paving the way for others to follow.
