WSG named one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Women 2026™: Championing women in the automotive industry

The automotive industry continues to evolve, and with that comes a growing focus on attracting, developing and retaining talented people. Creating a positive workplace culture is no longer just about employee satisfaction. Businesses that invest in their people are better placed to encourage innovation, build strong teams and deliver exceptional experiences for customers and partners.

At Warranty Solutions Group (WSG), we’ve always believed that people are at the heart of a successful business. That’s why we’re proud to announce that we’ve been recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Women™ 2026 by Great Place To Work® UK.

For us, this recognition is about far more than receiving an award. It reflects the experiences of our people, the culture we’ve built together and our commitment to helping women build long-term careers in the automotive industry.

At WSG, we know that the success of our business starts with the people behind it.

We want WSG to be a place where people can learn, contribute and achieve their potential. We support our people by providing opportunities for professional development, encouraging internal progression and helping colleagues upskill through courses and new experiences. Whether someone is just starting out or taking on a leadership position, we want them to feel confident in what they do and excited about where they’re going.

As part of the automotive industry, we know there’s still work to do to attract and retain more women across the sector. That’s why creating a workplace where women can succeed is something we’re passionate about.

With women represented across our business, including at board and senior management level, this recognition is particularly meaningful. It reflects the experiences of the women who have helped shape WSG and the progress we’ve made in creating a workplace where women are represented at every level of the business.

Over the past year, we’ve also continued to champion important conversations across the automotive sector through our Women in the Motor Industry webinar series. The series brought together industry leaders to explore topics including leadership, mentorship and the future of automotive talent.

We’ve also continued contributing to conversations about the future of the automotive industry, from leadership and diversity to the challenges and opportunities facing the sector. By sharing insights, celebrating successes and highlighting the experiences of women across the industry, we’re helping to keep important conversations moving forward.

While we’re proud of this recognition, it’s only one part of a bigger commitment. We want to continue playing our part in creating positive change across the automotive industry.

Creating a great place to work goes beyond policies and processes. It’s about listening to people, encouraging open communication and making sure everyone feels able to contribute their ideas.

That’s helped us build a workplace where people work together, support one another and take pride in what they do.

Steph Newbery – WSG’s Group Director

“This recognition as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Women is something we’re incredibly proud to achieve because it reflects the culture we’ve worked hard to build from day one. Our success has always been driven by our people, and creating an environment where everyone feels respected, supported and empowered to reach their full potential.

The automotive industry is heavily male-dominated, and while there is still more work to do, we’re seeing positive progress in attracting, developing and retaining talented women across every part of the sector. We believe businesses that embrace diverse perspectives, invest in their people and create genuine opportunities for career progression will be the ones that succeed in the long term.

At WSG, we’re committed to creating opportunities for everyone to grow, succeed and build rewarding careers. While we’re delighted to receive this recognition, we’ll continue investing in our people and strengthening the inclusive culture that makes our business such a great place to work.

We’d like to thank every member of our team for helping to create such a positive, inclusive and ambitious culture. This recognition belongs to them, and we’re excited to continue raising the bar — not only for our own business, but for the wider automotive industry.”

Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place To Work UK, said:

“This year’s UK’s Best Workplaces for Women list celebrates businesses making a genuine difference day to day, not just in what they say, but in how people experience work. What matters most is that this recognition comes directly from women working in these organisations, who tell us they feel supported, valued and able to grow.”

At WSG, what happens behind the scenes has a direct impact on the experience we deliver to our customers.

Every day, our teams work closely with dealers, partners and motorists, helping to solve problems, answer questions and provide support when it’s needed most.

That’s why this recognition means more than an award. It’s a reflection of the people behind WSG and the role they play in delivering the service our customers rely on.

For us, a great workplace and great customer experience go hand in hand. When people enjoy coming to work and take pride in what they do, it shows in the way they support customers and work with partners.

Being recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Women™ 2026 is a proud moment for everyone at WSG.

But it’s also a reminder that the work doesn’t stop here.

Through initiatives like our Women in the Motor Industry series and the conversations we’re helping to drive, we want to continue shining a spotlight on the talented women already making a difference across automotive, while encouraging others to consider a career in the industry.

There’s still more work to do, but that’s what makes the future so exciting.

We’ll continue investing in our people, creating opportunities for everyone to grow and helping drive positive change across the automotive industry. By supporting the next generation of talent and continuing to build an inclusive workplace, we hope to play our part in shaping a stronger future for the sector.
