Fleet Alliance named Best Workplace for Women 2023

FLEET Alliance has been voted A Best Workplace For Women for a third year in a row. It is the only fleet and leasing company in its category to achieve this accolade.

The Glasgow-based broker’s award, in the category for medium sized businesses with 51-200 employees, follows hard on the heels of its 11th Best Place to Work Award from the Great Place to Work Institute. The company is also a Platinum-accredited Investor in People.

We are delighted to win this award for the third successive year, operating as we do in a male-dominated automotive industry, and proud to be the only fleet management and leasing company in the Medium category. We have always sought to make Fleet Alliance a happy, inclusive and welcoming environment without prejudice or bias of any kind, so this award is fitting recognition of that ambition.

The qualifying criteria for the Best Workplace for Women require a minimum of 25% of women in the workforce; a minimum of 20% women in mid-level management; and a minimum of more than one woman on the board of directors or at executive level.

Fleet Alliance’s corresponding figures are 54%, 45% and 36% – well above the national average.

Finance director, Angela Robertson, added: “This is great news. At Fleet Alliance, our shared values fuel a thriving community where every woman is valued, supported, and inspired to reach her fullest potential.”

Andy Bruce added that the all-inclusive environment at Fleet Alliance was nurtured by its core social commitment ‘Fleet Alliance Loves’ that anchors the working environment and is based on four principles: fairness, trust, engagement and respect.

“All employee actions, regardless of the level of seniority in the business, are underpinned by these Fleet Alliance fundamentals. Make all those elements work, and you have an environment in which women are welcomed and valued,” added Andy Bruce, who said it was also an important element of the company’s ESG agenda.

Fleet Alliance is an amazing company to work for. I have never worked somewhere where you genuinely feel like one big team, and everyone is willing to go above and beyond to help each other. The business provides fair opportunities for all in the workplace and offers a great sense of value and empowerment to all its employees.
