Remit, is backing British female Rally Champion, Louise Cook, for the second year running as she races to the top of her game.
Remit, based in Nottingham, works with more than 1,600
motor industry apprentices across the country. The company is sponsoring
Louise, who will be wearing the Remit logo on her overalls.
In a male-dominated industry, Remit is always looking to encourage young women to make a move into the automotive sector.
Remit’s
Chief Operating Officer, Steve Yardley, said: “Louise is a fantastic
role model for young women. Louise is really making her mark on a male
dominated industry and is not afraid to compete with some of the world’s
top rally drivers.
“Last year we backed Louise for the first time and even gave her the extra boost she needed to make it to the WRC Brother Rally in New Zealand. She competed all over the world last year and we know is planning to build on her successes in the 2013/14 season.”
Twenty
six year old Louise was the first ever female to gain a FIA Rally
Championship Title when she became the FIA WRC Production Cup Champion
whilst finishing 8th from 15 in the Production World Rally Championship.
She
is in her fourth full season of rally driving and plans to compete in
her Ford Fiesta R2 at some of the most famous rally events in the world.
Louise said: “I had so much fantastic help from
my sponsors last year, Remit being one of them. They were also one of
the sponsors that boosted their support to make sure I got to compete on
Rally New Zealand.
“Starting a career with Remit, could mean a
future at the side of the race track or on rallies working with drivers
like myself. Without our technicians, we would not be able to get
through even one of the stages of the rally, so I am always grateful for
what my rally team do.
“I hope working together with the team at Remit
I can help inspire more young people, particularly young women, to
break into the automotive industry.”
