“The extension of our partnership with Arnold Clark represents a powerful relationship that will continue to drive positive change and promote gender equity.”

Putting more female talent in the driving seat

I’m thrilled to announce the extension of the extraordinary partnership between Womanthology and Arnold Clark. This extension of our partnership marks a significant milestone in our shared commitment to championing gender equity and fostering a more inclusive world.

Accelerating progress towards gender equity

At Womanthology, we believe in harnessing the power of female energy and ingenuity to break down barriers and drive change. Arnold Clark’s ongoing and unwavering dedication to gender equity aligns perfectly with our mission. Building on the foundation of having worked together for seven years we will continue to strive to create a more equitable society where everyone, regardless of gender, can thrive and succeed.

Amplifying our collective impact

Arnold Clark has been at the forefront of promoting gender equity within the traditionally male-dominated automotive industry for many years. Their commitment to supporting women and ensuring equal opportunities is evidenced by their corporate values, inclusive policies, and their innovative approach in developing memorable and unique initiatives aimed at bridging the gender gap.

By extending our partnership, together we aim to amplify our collective impact and reach a wider audience, encouraging more girls and women to break barriers, pursue their dreams and challenge stereotypes.

The power of sharing stories

Womanthology provides a platform for women around the world to share their stories, experiences, and expertise. Our partnership with Arnold Clark allows us to expand this platform yet further, giving a voice to women who have made significant contributions to the automotive industry, and beyond.

Through a series of thought-provoking first-person stories, we will shine a spotlight on even more women (and indeed other underrepresented groups) breaking barriers across all sectors, celebrating their achievements and encouraging others to follow. By sharing these stories, we hope to empower women to pursue their passions unapologetically, knowing that they are not alone on their journey.

Driving change together

Our partnership with Arnold Clark extends far beyond storytelling though. Together, we will also collaborate on workshops, seminars, and knowledge-sharing programmes, providing invaluable resources and support to women aspiring to excel in their respective fields. We will also share our successes with our wider community of employers also striving to equalise opportunities for women.

Join us on this incredible journey

The extension of our partnership with Arnold Clark represents a powerful relationship that will continue to drive positive change and promote gender equity. Together, Womanthology and Arnold Clark will uplift and amplify women’s voices, encouraging them to embrace their strengths, challenge stereotypes, and pursue their dreams fearlessly.

Lynne McBurney, Arnold Clark’s group head of people said of the partnership:

“It’s a great pleasure to be partnering with Womanthology once again. There’s a strong synergy between the work we do and we share belief in the need to keep innovating as we strive towards gender equity together. We’re on a journey and it is vital that we keep going, so it’s an enormous help to work with a progressive digital platform and community like Womanthology so we can amplify our collective impact and reach a wider audience.”

We invite you to join us on this incredible journey as we celebrate the achievements of women in the automotive industry and beyond. Together, we can create a world where gender equity is the norm, and every woman has the opportunity to shine.

Let’s drive change, together. We hope you will continue the journey with us.
