A BUSINESS leader is driving forward a campaign to encourage more women to take up top roles in the automotive industry after being shocked by its lack of diversity.

Laura Hall, the managing director of Maverick Diagnostics, based in Holt, near Wrexham, is a member of The Automotive 30% Club that's battling for a better gender balance in the sector.

She will be outlining her crusade at the next meeting of the Wrexham Business Professionals organisation at the Maesgwyn Hall in Wrexham on June 27.

The influential group is made up of successful businesses and skilled professionals working together to promote regional prosperity and shine a light on the enterprise and expertise that exists in the region.

Ms Hall will also be talking about the support Maverick Diagnostics about how the company has invested in a training academy and the support it has received from the Development Bank of Wales.

The firm last year received an investment of £100,000 from the bank to enable it to continue to grow the range of diagnostics tools and technical support it offers to vehicle workshops and garages throughout the UK.

It was the second time that the company has had support from the development bank, having received a loan in April 2020 to help manage trading during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The other guest speaker will be Clwyd South MS Ken Skates, the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales, who was instrumental in establishing the bank in Wrexham in 2017 when he was the Welsh Government's Economy Minister.

Ms Hall leads a team of 14 staff at Maverick Diagnostics, a specialist vehicle diagnostic tool business based at Holt near Wrexham.
