Russell Automotive highlighted in ITN production
Jane Russell, director of Russell Automotive, has featured in an ITN Production about her thriving career owning two successful businesses as well as juggling family life.
The Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) and ITN Productions spoke to the London based garage to highlight the gender gap ‘frightening’ an industry worth over £152 billion each year, and their commitment to recognising employees’ expertise and the need for continuing professional development.
Jane said, ‘You can’t imagine why any business wouldn’t recruit females since they make up half of the population and its vital workforces reflect this. My success within the industry lead to me featuring on the Top 50 Power Part-Time list, and this is something I’m extremely proud of. I sit amongst some amazing and inspirational people. Working at our business and being a full-time parent isn’t easy, but I’m a good example of how it’s achievable.”
‘Part of our ethos we recognise employers so we joined the IMI Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) to ensure our staff have up to date training – it’s vital for business owners and the consumer that we invest in training.’
