Autocar Great Women: Rising Stars 2023 winners
A winner will be selected in each category, with an overall victor then chosen from that shortlist. Individuals can put themselves forward for consideration, or can be nominated by friends, colleagues and employers.Please look far and wide within your organisation for women to nominate – we’re encouraging people to think outside of their immediate team for people deserving of an award.
