An innovative marketing service in the UK motor industry is promoting garages with a Female Business Ambassador© so that local motorists can deal with a woman, if they prefer.

In an industry with an image problem and where 80% of the workforce is male, the prospect of a garage visit can be very daunting for many women who worry about being patronised, ripped off or baffled by unnecessary motoring jargon. So much so that many women postpone important car servicing visits in between MOTs meaning that their cars might be less well maintained and therefore less safe than they could be. This is also a huge business opportunity for genuinely female friendly garages that are doing all the right things to make women drivers feel welcome when they visit their business.

An innovative marketing service, FOXY Choice, promotes garages that sign their female friendly FOXY Promise© to 'never overcharge, patronise or sell women services they do not need.' They can then nominate a Female Business Ambassador© and promote quality logos and awards, customer services, facilities and whether they are near shops or local leisure facilities.

FOXY founder Steph Savill believes that the presence of a Female Business Ambassador© can be a reassuring sign for many women and may well be appreciated by men too. By introducing women to genuinely female friendly garages Steph is helping to make the garage experience more enjoyable for women. She is also promoting the UK motor industry as an attractive career choice for females, especially those that want to make a genuine difference to customer service levels in future.
