Winners 2021

Bhavisha is responsible for a number of key aspects within the automotive product development company’s human resources group, including leading resourcing campaigns for all roles. Her work assessing the new IR35 requirements from the government, to combat tax avoidance by contractors, has won praise from the company’s HR director, Lisa Rowles. “Bhavisha is cited by external sources, legal advisors and recruitment companies as the best example of automotive company response to IR35 that they have seen,” she wrote in Bhavisha’s nomination. Bhavisha also won praise for her ‘lunch and learn’ sessions set up to engage with staff who can then be more knowledgeable about career progression within the business, reversing a negative perception of ‘poaching’ between departments. Bhavisha joined Horiba MIRA in 2018 from Cadent Gas.
