EXCITING news! We’re delighted to announce that we have secured Andrea Holland (left), a renowned freelance commentator for the BBC, Sky, Eurosport, and Olympic Broadcasting Services, as the guest speaker for our upcoming Women in Broking Live! Event (pictured left, not in the water!).
Andrea brings a wealth of career experience, not just from broadcasting, but also from 20 years in the automotive industry with BMW retailer Sytner and nearly 12 years in marketing and communications with BMW UK. Additionally, she has an incredible sporting background — competing internationally in synchronised swimming and coaching two national teams at the 1988 and 1992 Olympics. Her most recent accolade is becoming a World Masters Solo Champion, a title she is hoping to retain in Singapore later this year (main picture).
"Andrea’s career is nothing short of extraordinary. From elite-level sport to the automotive and broadcasting worlds, she’s a true trailblazer. Her insights promise to be inspiring, engaging, and full of valuable takeaways. I’m delighted that she is able to join us for our first regional Women in Broking Live event."
The Women in Broking Live! event, hosted by BMW Partridge of Hampshire in Eastleigh (near Southampton), will run for around three hours from late morning on 15 May. Alongside Andrea’s inspiring session, attendees can look forward to informal networking, mentoring opportunities, and a light lunch.
As well as supporting our first regional Women in Broking Live! event, BMW Partridge will be supporting the Broker News Awards and handing out the Best Volume Broker Award.
Bookings will open shortly, with a total of 30 tickets available. For more details and to stay updated on booking information, follow us on Broker News LinkedIn and Broker News X.
