Winners 2026
Apprentice 2026
As well as celebrating female leaders in a range of categories we also named this year’s star Apprentices: 15 new Autocar Great Women who have joined the industry across a range of disciplines.
This is the one category where we choose not to award an overall winner, because every single one of these individuals is a future leader.
