“We are committed to continue developing a more diverse and inclusive culture here at Pendragon, encouraging women to enjoy working within an organisation that embraces their talents and potential, allowing a progressive and rewarding career.
“We are regularly reviewing and changing our business to be more responsive and appealing to both female customers and team members. We have recently introduced new, family friendly working patterns and roles in our Stratstone business, attracting substantially more women than we would attract to more traditional roles. This has resulted in a very different and diverse workforce.
“In respect of The Power of Women event, it was great to see a room filled with such inspiring and inspirational role models making some real and powerful changes”.
