Is your brokerage missing a key ingredient?
THERE’S a common theme running through the first four stories of this week’s newsletter. And that’s women in the leasing broker sector. Even our lead story has a woman that’s key to The Electric Car Scheme’s success – step forward Gateway2Lease managing director Kelly Marshall.
At Broker News we’re keen to encourage more women into the sector and highlight success stories such as Nickie Conde at funder Arval UK, one of the UK’s leading leasing businesses which is led by Lakshmi Moorthy – a woman; celebrate women such as Lauren Cousen at Wessex Fleet; and applaud Fleet Alliance for being a Best Workplace For Women.
These are all advanced, progressive businesses. Is your brokerage doing enough to encourage greater inclusivity and gender balance? Or is it missing out?
