Experts from Ford and Jaguar Land Rover will be among the line-up of guest speakers, and attendees will enjoy discussions and Q&A sessions on a range of topics, including progression in the automotive industry.

Victoria Finn, Marketing & Communications Director:

"Being shortlisted amongst some of the industry's most influential women last year was an honour, I'm pleased to be attending this year's event to again celebrate the rising female stars breaking through in the industry.

Initiatives like these are an excellent way of showing women the wealth of opportunities available, and giving them the support to progress in their careers.

At Pendragon we celebrate equal opportunities for all, with many women occupying leadership roles across the business. Wherever possible we promote internally and offer support at all levels to learn and develop team member's careers."
