Laura Hall, the recently appointed managing director of Maverick Diagnostics, has accepted an invitation from Automotive 30% Club to participate in a dynamic panel discussion at the upcoming Independent Automotive Aftermarket Federation (IAAF) conference.

As a leader dedicated to advancing gender balance and diversity in the automotive industry, not to mention that her determination to join Automotive 30% Club stemmed from an inspiring presentation given during last year’s IAAF conference, Laura is the perfect candidate to infuse her passion, energy, and commitment into this important event.

Julia Muir, the founder of Automotive 30% Club, praised Laura’s appointment and looks forward to welcoming Laura onto the stage at the DoubleTree by Hilton Milton Keynes on Thursday 7th December: “Laura will add great value to our panel of Automotive 30% Club members and our discussion about the benefit of gender balance.

“She is a huge advocate of inclusion, and as one of the trailblazing female MDs in the automotive sector, she will be able to call upon her relevant lived experience of the challenges and factors that lead to the exclusion of women.”

Laura will share the stage with prominent industry figures, including Annick Jourdenais, chief financial officer at LKQ Euro Car Parts, and Neil Grant, managing director of HELLA UK.

Laura is thrilled to join this distinguished company on stage and reaffirm her commitment to fostering diversity and inclusivity in the workplace. She recently emphasised the pivotal role that Automotive 30% Club played in the recruitment of staff at Maverick Diagnostics.

Laura said: “When I received the invitation, I didn’t need a second thought! I am determined to play a role in creating an inclusive sector, and I am always ready to support this cause.

“At Maverick Diagnostics, we have already harnessed the knowledge and experience of Automotive 30% Club to great effect, and we eagerly anticipate future collaborations, such as the one taking place at the IAAF conference.”
