The winners of this year’s Drivers of Change competition, launched in partnership with Autocar are to be announced at tonight’s annual SMMT dinner. Our three winners across the technology, retail and digital categories are truly changing the game with their concepts – with many of them already taking steps to make their ideas a reality.
Lynda Ennis, founder of Ennis & Co, said: “Our industry is in the midst of rapid evolution. As global automotive and mobility executive search specialists, we are consistently observing the transformation taking place, and are fortunate to experience it daily as clients engage with us to find their senior leaders.
“What has struck me this year is the sheer level of innovation showcased by our entrants who, in many cases, are brand new to the world of automotive. Our finalists and winners have shown genuine potential to bring forward feasible solutions to some of the sector’s most pressing barriers… and I very much look forward to seeing some of these becoming a reality someday. Our prestigious sponsor judges have been absolutely remarkable in helping to choose our final three winners, which was no mean feat – and I want to take this opportunity to thank them for their ongoing support.”
Steve Cropley, Autocar’s editor-in-chief, said: “Despite everything that the last year has thrown at us, it was amazing to see how strong everyone’s ideas were for the Drivers of Change competition. The innovation and ingenuity that people displayed was incredible, to the point where it was really difficult to pick out the winners. I got a real kick out of reading them all – it just goes to show how great this industry is, and the people in and around it.
“Plus of course, congratulations to all the finalists and winners. With the sort of drive and innovation that you’ve all displayed, I know we’ll be reading about all of you over the coming years in Autocar.”
