We are delighted to announce that Jane Pocock, Managing Director of Copart UK & Ireland, has become a member of the Automotive 30% Club.
The Automotive 30% Club is a voluntary network of MDs and CEOs from UK based automotive manufacturing, retailing and supplier companies.
It was founded by Julia Muir in 2016, with the purpose of achieving a better gender balance within the automotive industry, and with the aim of filling at least 30% of leadership roles with diverse women by 2030 through a “30 by 30” strategy.
With an extensive career spanning 30 years in the automotive industry, and recent recognition in Autocar’s Great Women Top 100, Jane’s expertise will certainly be welcomed by the club. Her continued success within the industry and her advocacy of a balanced workforce makes her an ideal network partner.
“I’m delighted to join the Automotive 30% Club, a network of CEOs and MDs – a great initiative that supports and encourages greater gender balance within the automotive industry. At Copart, we are very proud to have a well-balanced workforce across all areas of our business, including our senior management team.
Unfortunately, many organisations still do not demonstrate the same level of representation, especially when it comes to the recruitment and progression of women in this traditionally male-dominated industry. That is why I am so pleased to support this initiative and highlight Copart as a positive example of best practice and help others wherever I can.”
– Jane Pocock, Managing Director – Copart UK & Ireland
“We are thrilled to welcome Jane Pocock of Copart UK & Ireland into the Automotive 30% Club and we look forward to working together, alongside our other member organisations, in order to achieve a better gender balance throughout the automotive industry.
It’s great to have another MD onboard who is not only a trailblazer in the sector but is also creating a working environment in which other women thrive, and I look forward to collaborating with Jane in order to truly change the game in this sector.”
– Julia Muir, Founder of the Automotive 30% Club
