The visiting group participated in a series of interactive sessions, immersing themselves in the expertise behind Prodrive’s Motorsport and Advanced Technology teams, along with discussions with some of the women in the Prodrive Group from a variety of commercial and technical roles.
This initiative celebrates the invaluable contributions of women within both companies, recognizing their impact in driving innovation and success. Representatives across all departments including Marketing, Business Operations, Finance, Engineering, Procurement, and Sales – came together for an empowering networking event. The event aimed to inspire greater inclusion and demonstrated the rewarding career opportunities available within the motorsport and engineering industries.
Prodrive and Alcon have worked together for many years, building a strong partnership in the motorsport industry. This event was an excellent opportunity for both companies to collaborate once again, reinforcing their shared values and commitment to innovation and inclusivity.
Adding to the significance of the occasion, the event’s content has been curated by an all-female creative team, further emphasizing the vital role women play not only in motorsport but also in the creative industries.
Sarah Blunt, Prodrive Group’s Human Resources Business Partner said” Women play a crucial role in the success of Prodrive, helping drive innovation, teamwork, and excellence across our whole Group. Welcoming the women of Alcon is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate their contributions, strengthen partnerships, and empower future leaders in motorsport and engineering. As a business, we recognise that diversity fuels our progress, and we are proud to champion it in this way.”
Emeline Wilson, Group Marketing Manager at Alcon said “Prodrive and Alcon have been working together since the late 1990s. Rallying, GT racing, Dakar, we’ve had many adventures together. Seeing both companies come together to celebrate International Women’s Day demonstrates a shared commitment to supporting female talent and encouraging the next generation of women in the automotive industry.”
