The British Motor Industry Heritage Trust, based at the British Motor Museum at Gaydon, Warwickshire, is seeking to appoint a new Trustee with experience of audience development and equality, diversity and inclusion, ideally in the cultural sector. The role will help the Trust develop its exciting plans for the future, as well as shape an organisation fit for the future. The Trustee will also act as Chair of the Board’s sub-committee for inclusion and relevance.
The British Motor Museum is a world recognised, independent motor museum, Accredited by Arts Council England and a National Portfolio Organisation. It holds the world’s largest collection of historic motor cars, documentation, photographic material and moving film relating to motor industry in Britian and is a leading international archive of industrial and corporate history. Both the Archive and Motor Car Collections at the British Motor Museum have been awarded Designated status. The Museum is one of the Midlands’ leading visitor attractions and also operates an award-winning conference and events centre, one of the largest in the region.
It is a pivotal moment to join the Trust, as it has ambitious plans including to develop its collections and engagement, sharing the stories of the people, places and products of the motor industry in Britain, bringing its already successful programmes to an even wider and more diverse audience. In today’s society, almost everyone is touched by the motor car, either as a driver, passenger or passerby. Those motoring stories and recollections are relevant, even for those who are not dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiasts.
The Trust is committed to ensuring that both current and future audiences, together with all those that work or volunteer for the organisation, have a voice regardless of background through its key objectives of:
- ensuring diversity and inclusivity are at the heart of the organisation; the British Motor Museum is a place for everyone;
- ensuring the visitor experience is welcoming, engaging, fun, informative and memorable;
- continuing to develop a culture of health and wellbeing where staff and visitors feel recognised, safe and supported.
To join us a Trustee, you don’t need to be a petrol-head! If you are passionate about bringing culture to as wide an audience as possible and creating more opportunities to engage with or work in our sector, we’d love to hear from you. And it’s not only your skills that we are looking for but your own personal experiences, to bring vital new perspective to our Board as we continue with our mission to give a louder voice to those who are under-represented in our programmes and in our organisation.
