Ford’s first-ever female transport operations manager is thriving in what has been a traditionally male environment. Lynsey oversees over 200 employees running key parts of Ford’s logistics operation. Lynsey’s management roles across Transport Operations include responsibility for delivering parts to manufacturing plants, Ford’s central repair garage operation and Ford’s in-house new-vehicle pre-delivery inspection (PDI) operation, which processes between 15,000 and 20,000 vehicles a year. Lynsey joined Ford as a manufacturing graduate engineer in 2000 before moving to logistics. In her current role, which she began in 2017, she has driven continuous improvement actions to increase the operational efficiency. She has been nominated for the Chairman's Leadership awards for diversity for her volunteer work supporting the annual Women In Engineering event encouraging females to progress a career in engineering through STEM subjects.
