Accelerating Action for Equality
At Pickles, we believe that diversity is the engine that drives innovation, success, and progress. As we mark International Women’s Day 2025, we want to take this opportunity to reflect on the contributions women make to our industry and celebrate the ongoing efforts to promote gender equality in the workplace.
This year’s theme, “Accelerating Action,” emphasises the need to accelerate gender equality and create more opportunities for women empowerment. International Women’s Day is not just a day for celebration but a call to action. At Pickles, we are committed to pushing the boundaries and ensuring that every step forward is one toward equality.
Women in the asset remarketing industry: Breaking barriers
Historically, our industry has been a male-dominated space, with fewer women in leadership roles, technical positions, and branch operations. However, the tides are turning with 52 women in leadership roles throughout Pickles. Women are breaking barriers and proving that the asset remarketing sector is for everyone, regardless of gender.
Across the globe, women are making their mark in areas like vehicle sales, design, technology, and leadership. And right here at Pickles, we’ve witnessed first-hand the incredible contributions of our female employees. From our auctioneers to our marketing team, and from our customer service representatives, to our management staff, women are driving success in ways that impact our business and community every single day.
Our commitment to diversity and inclusion
We believe that a diverse workforce makes us stronger. We actively cultivate an environment where everyone, regardless of gender, background, or experience, has the opportunity to thrive. This means fostering a workplace culture that supports equal opportunities for growth, leadership, and innovation.
Our team members, both women and men, work together to create a welcoming space where everyone’s voice is heard and valued. We have internal mentorship programs and leadership development initiatives in place, to support our employees in every facet of our business, helping them realise their full potential and achieve success.
Celebrating the women of Pickles
On this International Women’s Day (and everyday), we want to highlight the incredible women who make Pickles the thriving business it is today. From the branch teams to the staff behind the scenes, we are grateful for their hard work, dedication, and passion for the work we do. Their contributions are invaluable, and we are excited to continue supporting them as they advance in their careers.
Driving ahead: Powering a future of equal opportunity
As we look ahead to the future, we will continue to advocate for policies and practices that ensure equal pay, equal opportunity for growth, and a safe, supportive environment for all employees. International Women’s Day is a reminder of how far we’ve come, but it also fuels our drive to Accelerate Action to support all of our employees.
