TrustFord, the UK’s largest Ford dealer group, has been recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Women by Great Place to Work.
The award comes following a number of initiatives to support colleagues and create a more inclusive workplace.
This includes a dedicated chat group specifically for women, mentorship programmes involving women in senior roles, and various network groups, including DrivingWomen+, to promote greater diversity.
Meanwhile, it has reduced the pay gap from 10.2% in 2017 to two per cent now, with retention of women colleagues rising from 76% in January 2023 to 82% by December of the same year.

“I am immensely proud of the progress we have made and the programmes we have implemented to support our female colleagues and I would like to thank the TrustFord family for playing their part in making TrustFord one of the Best Workplaces for Women in the UK.”
