VOLVO TRUCKS has entered a partnership with Girl Torque, aimed at promoting the vital role women play in the road transport industry and to encourage more to consider it as a future career path.
Established by Aberdeenshire based Ian S Roger driver Karen Sutherland in 2021, Girl Torque has grown quickly to nearly 50 women within the haulage industry in the UK.
Announcing the partnership, Neil Park, MD of Volvo Truck and Bus Centre North & Scotland, explained: “We recognise that the road transport industry has had a gender imbalance, and still does, but together we can help drive change and strengthen the industry for the future.
Karen Sutherland, founder of Girl Torque, said: “I had to pinch myself when Volvo said they wanted to enter into a partnership with us. To have this kind of support from a global brand is simply incredible.
