How have you seen the Automotive industry landscape change and evolve to engage more women? Sytner do not judge based on gender or any other category, if you have an A for attitude, demonstrate a strong work ethic and are honest I have found you are not limited by length of service, qualifications or gender as examples you are given the freedom to grow and progress and this is promoted across the businesses.
