ARE STILL IN EMPLOYMENT

Despite circumstances that would prove a barrier to many, MM veterans continue to demonstrate that they are well suited to the automotive industry, and that their skills are both recognised and rewarded. MM alumni are happily filling important roles in Formula 1, Formula E, World Rally Championship teams as well as with leading automotive manufacturers.

“I have a new career that has not only changed my life but is also incredibly therapeutic for me. I couldn’t be happier”
