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.”
