Motor Trade Insurance Quote - Changes seen in Motor Trade Insurance Quotes, as more mechanics wear lipstick


The face of the motor trade is changing, out is stubble and Old Spice, and in is foundation and lip gloss. Women are set to play a greater role in the motor trade, it has been revealed. Nearly 1,000 women have applied for motor trade apprenticeships this year. An increasing number of female employees are getting jobs in engineering within the motor industry, according to a new study.

Research by the Institute of the Motor Industry revealed that around 94,000 women in the UK have jobs in engineering in the car manufacturing and selling sector, the Independent reports. The industry has been resolutely male for almost 100 years so don�t expect to see a female mechanic when you car goes in for its next service, but the new apprentice scheme is an important step in the right direction.

Brand leaders recognise need to change Motor Trade

Manufacturers and car sales professionals have long since realised that women not only make up almost 50% of drivers but are a major influence in the majority of family car purchases. The influence of women on car manufacturers can be seen in the Ford Ka and Fiat's Panda which are available in colour schemes and interior fabrics designed to appeal to a female audience. Even insurance brokers are realising that women drivers have an increasing love of everything motor related with brands such as Sheila's Wheels and Diamond offering insurance and advice specifically for women drivers.

Technology improves Motor Trade Insurance Quote

The increase in the 1980's of call centres and the development of online quote comparison websites at the turn of the millennium has increased the options and range of Motor Trade Insurance Quotes available.
