Aston Martin has extended a special invitation to women and girls interested in a career in the automotive industry.
To mark International Women’s Day on 8 March 2023, the doors of Aston Martin Works will be opened.
Attendees can experience a day in the life of an employee at the famous Newport Pagnell site in Buckinghamshire.
Finding talent for the future
The day will include a tour of the historic Aston Martin Works facility, including the dealership for heritage cars, plus a CV-writing workshop.
A conversation and panel event will be held in partnership with the Aston Martin Formula 1 team. Female leaders from across the company will be present, including Clare Lansley – chief information officer for the Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant F1 team.
Aston Martin says it hopes to have 25 percent of all leadership roles filled by women within the next five years.
Simon Smith, chief people officer at Aston Martin, said: “Aston Martin is passionate about increasing female leadership at the company, as well as inspiring girls to consider the huge career opportunities within the automotive sector.
“Through initiatives like this event on International Women’s Day and our successful graduate and apprenticeship programmes, we are confident that we can find the right talent for the future of Aston Martin.”
Driving an inclusive workplace
Clare Lansley added: “This year, the Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant F1 team joins forces with Aston Martin in a bid to embrace equity and offer opportunities to ambitious women and girls.
“We are excited to host the event at Aston Martin’s heritage site in Newport Pagnell and look forward to the future generations of women and girls joining our organisations – as we continue to drive an inclusive workplace for all.”
Registration for the event is now open through the Aston Martin Careers website. Places for this special day are strictly limited on a first-come, first-served basis.
