DUNTON, UK – Leading UK car magazine Autocar is seeking nominees for its new Drivers of Change awards that champion diverse talent in the automotive industry, but entries must be submitted by midnight on Friday November 1.

Held in association with Ennis & Co and the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), these awards celebrate the automotive industry as a place that welcomes everybody.

Autocar Drivers of Change winners will be individuals who are driving change and promoting diversity in their business in whichever role they perform. Judges will be looking for entries that can demonstrate the adoption of diversity of background, experience and thought in their business.

Winners will be named in nine categories: Marketing; Manufacturing; Operations; PR and communications; Purchasing; Retail; Sales; Talent; Vehicle development.

Individuals can put themselves forward for consideration, or can be nominated by friends, colleagues and employers. The awards are open to all working in the British car industry, or Britons working abroad.

Autocar writes: “We’re encouraging people to think outside of their immediate team for people deserving of an award. Those nominating will need to supply evidence of the nominee’s business and/or industry impact. There is no limit on the number of nominations submitted by a company.”

The winners will be celebrated at a special event hosted at the SMMT’s London headquarters on February 6, 2025.
