working hand in hand with the automotive industry
In the fast paced, high volume, global automotive world, you are faced with the need for leadership and management that delivers world class standards, success and profitability. You aim to provide direction and achieve high standards of quality and service which establish a presence in the market place – creating loyalty and value generation.
The aspire centre for leadership & management understands that your opportunities lie in the development of your people, your organisation and the services you deliver. At the same time you seek to fulfil the diverse requirements of many interested parties and, of course, your shareholders.
We can help you identify, communicate and implement the strategies that will address your current and future challenges. Through the development of your people we can help your business become even more successful.
In order to provide quality, choice and flexibility, we work with the UK’s two main national and international providers of leadership, management, coaching and mentoring qualifications along with a number of higher education institutions.

do you want more effective management?
You need a range of management styles and abilities to meet the challenges and opportunities prevalent in today’s automotive industries.
Your managers must be highly effective, innovative, skilled and able to deliver to the expectations of a wide range of customers and stakeholders to provide competitive, efficient, high quality yet cost effective service solutions.
Performance and productivity are key. They go hand in hand with the ability to attract, develop and retain high quality staff with the skills, knowledge and attitudes you need in today’s hugely competitive economic environment.
aspire is highly experienced in providing effective and high impact management development programmes. They promote highly effective management across all levels and functions, enabling your people to implement change, to meet and exceed expectations.
We give you practical tools, techniques and approaches that will help you meet your business objectives.
Your management development needs can be satisfied through uniquely tailored programmes designed in partnership with aspire.

how coaching helps you get the most from your greatest asset
“Your people are your greatest asset” the saying goes. Like most assets, they need investment to be able to achieve their maximum potential – support, inspiration, encouragement and development. This investment will quickly repay itself in increased and improved staff and customer satisfaction, raised self confidence and esteem along with improved retention over (often short periods of) time.
Sometimes the coaching and mentoring activities you require are part of a larger leadership or management development programme. More often you will need them to be integral elements of leadership and management roles within your business to accelerate the development of innovation and skills with a powerful low cost solution.
Whether you seek to build coaching expertise in your leadership and management teams, a core of coaching specialists or one to one development for your executives and key staff – aspire’s highly experienced team can provide flexible, sustainable solutions that will help you unlock the potential in your people.
You will find improved performance, motivation and enthusiasm in not only the participants, but also those around them.
Coaching and mentoring may also be provided concurrent with other leadership and management programmes, embedding new behaviours, skills and enhanced performance.
Coach and mentor development programmes may be non-accredited or attract nationally recognised qualifications or development awards.
why higher education is the key to competitive, efficient, high quality yet cost effective service solutions
The need for a foundation degree in automotive management has been recognised across the automotive industry – including the IMI (Institute of the Motor Industry) and the Sector Skills Council.
The foundation degree in automotive management is coming soon and will provide seamless progression from current development programmes (up to level 3) to the levels of honours and masters degrees (levels 6 & 7). It will also offer a route for your staff to gain an industry-specific higher education qualification whatever their current qualifications may be.
The programme will be tailored to your business and market sector needs and validated by our partner university – which has long connections with the automotive industry. This offers the opportunity for delivery on your own premises and even using contributions from your own specialists and experts.
