Cox Automotive Australia announces a women based challenge in New Zealand! Women With Drive (WWD) exists to celebrate the work of women in the automotive industry. 
It is an inclusive movement built to support female achievements, aspirations and successes, with a ‘think big’ attitude and a space for every voice. Launched in 2018, Cox Automotive Australia are taking the WWD program to new heights with the 2019 WWD New Zealand Challenge.
The Cox Automotive Australia WWD Challenge will take place in the picturesque south island of New Zealand (NZ) from Sunday, March 31 to Saturday, April 6 2019. Ten ambitious females from across the Cox Automotive Australia brands have been selected to join our HR Director, Snezana Jankulovski on a trip that will challenge them both physically and mentally. Activities will include mountain biking, trail hiking, helicopter rides, kayaking, jet boating and icy plunges into alpine lakes. Participants are also confronted with mystery tasks to test the boundaries of both mind and body.
“The Women With Drive New Zealand Challenge was firstly inspired from our UK Cox Automotive Family who took on Mount Kilimanjaro last year to inspire and empower the women within the business. For 2019, we wanted to do the same. This challenge will push these women out of their comfort zone as well as motivate them to push past barriers. We will be faced with challenging tasks daily, but it will teach us all resilience, how to lead as a group and will bring out the strength inside of us,” said HR Director Snezana Jankulovski.
As part of the challenge, Cox Automotive Australia is on a mission to raise much needed funds to support UN Women, a charity that supports women and girls to promote empowerment and gender equality by working on key projects worldwide to achieve their priorities.
The women on the WWD challenge have a goal to reach $7,500 to donate to the cause.
WWD originated in 2015 from Cox Automotive in Atlanta, USA. It was formally launched in Cox Automotive Australia in 2018 and is now part of the business strategy.
