Women In The Industry
At Sapphire Vehicle Services, we are proud to celebrate the achievements of women across our business, including Abigail Kelmanson, Manager at our Waltham Point depot.
Working in a traditionally male-dominated industry, Abi has built a successful career through resilience, determination and a passion for leadership.
“Throughout my career, I’ve had to overcome assumptions about what roles women can do. However, those experiences have made me more resilient and determined to lead by example.”
As Depot Manager, Abi leads a skilled team focused on collaboration, problem-solving and continuous improvement, helping to keep vehicles safe, reliable and on the road.
Abi is also passionate about encouraging more women to consider careers within the industry.
“It’s a career where your skills, attitude and determination matter far more than your gender. I’ve had fantastic opportunities to learn, grow and progress with Sapphire VS, and I’d encourage other women not to be put off by outdated stereotypes.”
At Sapphire Vehicle Services, we are committed to creating opportunities for talented individuals to thrive, regardless of gender. By sharing stories like Abi’s, we hope to inspire more women to explore the rewarding careers available within the vehicle services sector.
Thank you Abi, for leading by example and helping to inspire the next generation of women in our industry.
