Championing Women in Fleet Management
The fleet industry is full of fast-paced change – but one thing still needs attention: women are underrepresented in leadership roles. That’s where the new Empowering Women in Fleet initiative comes in. It’s all about giving women in fleet a platform, a voice, and a supportive community to grow their careers and lead with confidence.
What Is Empowering Women in Fleet?
Launched by Fleet News with support from Volvo Car UK and Novuna Vehicle Solutions, this new network is designed to highlight the achievements of women in the fleet industry and give them space to connect, learn and grow.
What to Expect
- Quarterly meet-ups, starting 27 June in Milton Keynes
- Talks from inspiring women, both within fleet and outside the sector
- Round-table discussions focused on real challenges, solutions and career development
This is more than just a talking shop – it’s about driving real change and giving women the confidence, skills and network to move forward.
