According to McKinsey & Co.’s Diversity Matters report, companies in the top quartile for gender diversity are 15% more likely to outperform competition. Also, women earn more bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees in the United States than men, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Yet, women account for an average of just 16% of the members of executive teams in the United States and 12% in the United Kingdom, per McKinsey.

The women that CAR WASH Magazine spoke with for this article are shining examples of how their gender does not define them – and they are rocketing right through those glass ceilings! One of them is Brittany Webb a Senior Financial Analyst from Car Wash Advisory.

What was your first impression of this industry, and has it changed since then?

When originally being introduced to the industry I knew little to nothing therefore I was extremely impressionable. My initial impression was the car wash industry seemed to be a small and a furthermore slower market. Funny enough, that changed quite quickly. Obviously working at a car wash advisory and broker firm, I was soon opened to the true realities of an ever growing, non-stagnant, progressive world of washes.

What a year 2020 was!

The incredibly competitive world of business continues to look on for what’s in store for the car wash industry during this exciting time of expansion.
