A GROUP of leading motor industry women are taking part in a 54km (34 mile) walk around the coast of the Isle of Wight.
The walk, in aid of funds for motor industry benevolent fund BEN, is taking place on May 02-03.
Among the women taking part are two board directors from the Vehicle Remarketing Association: Sam Watkins, who is commercial director at Manheim Vehicle Services; and Kathy Horsey, who is client services director of BCA.
Other team members include:
-
Kate Cooper-Griffiths, national sales manager, Enterprise Rent A Car
-
Carol Jones, head of indirect procurement, FirstBus
-
Parvathi Sankar, senior legal counsel, BMW Group UK & Ireland
-
Jacqui Barker, director and digital consultant, Emotive Resources Ltd
-
Louisa Bell, UK general manager, Avis Budget Group
-
Amanda Hook-Brown, corporate operations strategy manager, BMW Group UK
-
Lesley Slater, ex operations & business development director, LeasePlan UK
-
Sarah Easton, director, Automotive Software Solutions
Calling themselves the “Lilies” they have also completed other fundraising ventures such as Edinburgh Moonwalk and the Winter Walk half marathon.
Sam, who is also chair of the VRA, which represents organisations involved in the remarketing of 1.5m cars and vans every year, said:
“BEN is a tremendously worthwhile cause and we are aiming to raise as much as possible from this event.
“All of the Lillies team have been training hard and we’d urge everyone who knows us across the industry on an individual or corporate basis to sponsor us, whether with amounts large or small. Every donation helps.”
