We have recently begun airing our video series "Womenin the Automotive Industry".  This series aims to challenge the stigma associated with car dealerships through the stories of our female employees.

Ir tis our intention to show the broader community how Dubbo City and Gilgandra Toyota is engaging with its team of women to create a more diverse and inclusive working culture.  

In Episode 1 we meet Liz.  Liz describes her experience working in a car dealership as being fun, with a good gender balance and with equal opportunities.

 

Episode 2 introduces us to Donna.  Donna loves working at Dubbo City and Gilgandra Toyota not only because of the friendships and working relationships she has, but also because of how supportive the entire team is of her side hustle: a thriving makeup artistry business.

 

Episode 3 introduces us to Annabelle.  Annabelle has made a transition through several departments here at Dubbo City and Gilgandra Toyota and explains that there is certainy a space for women within the automotive industry.

 

In Episode 4 we meet Kari, a mother with young children who was seeking a career change that would suit her family lifestyle.  Watch as Kari explains how the team culture has helped her settle into her new career.

 

Episode 5 introduces us to Bronte.  Bronte has been working at Dubbo City and Gilgandra Toyota for over two years and has taken advantage of professional development opportunities offered within the conpany.  Moving onwards and upwards, Bronte is smashing glass ceilings and is currently our only female Sales Consultant.

 

In Episode 6, we are introduced to Colleen.  Colleen is our Marketing and Guest Experience Manager and has also competed several times in the Toyota National Skills Competition (trust us this is a BIG deal!).  Colleen is currently our only female manager and is blazing the trail for other women in the automotive industry.
