The automotive industry is traditionally male dominated and we’re working hard to redress the gender imbalance within our organisation. Arnold Clark is highly supportive of the government’s decision to require big employers to publish their gender pay gap statistics.
Our aims are to:
“2025 was a challenging year for our business and the wider automotive industry, as we continue to deal with the shift to electric, different policy changes, economic pressure and more. However, despite this, we’ve remained committed to fostering an inclusive culture at Arnold Clark, particularly when it comes to addressing the issue of gender balance.
Historically, our industry has been a male-dominated environment, but we know that, as we deal with the emergence of new technologies and new ways of working, we need a diverse range of skills and experience to stay ahead of our competitors.
That’s why we continue to champion female representation, update our policies, shine a light on women’s achievements and promote initiatives like Girls with Skills – so we can show future generations of women what’s possible to achieve in our industry.
Of course, there’s still progress to be made, which is why it’s vital that we continue to challenge gender imbalance and work together as an industry to build a more inclusive future. By working with partners like the Automotive 30% Club and Working Families, we can drive meaningful change and set a strong example for others.
The industry is undergoing a massive shift, so we’ll keep listening to our employees, creating pathways for women, and ensuring Arnold Clark remains an open, supportive workplace for everyone.”
“Arnold Clark is a company built on family values, and we strive to create a welcoming, supportive work environment for all employees.
In the last year, we’ve made great progress in key areas – particularly when it comes to creating an inclusive culture and promoting equal opportunities for all. I’m particularly proud of the work we’ve done to support our employees and their families – from recognising the achievements of our female employees and expanding our wellbeing package to increasing female representation in key areas of the business and strengthening our partnerships with key organisations. We also continue to pave the way for future generations through our Girls with Skills programme.
Our aim is to welcome more women into the business, and while we continue to make progress, we’re aware that there is still a lot to do; that’s why we continue to listen to our employees and work with partners like the Automotive 30% Club and Working Families. By considering different perspectives, diversifying our workforce and attracting and retaining the best talent, we can secure a progressive and successful future for the automotive industry.
