Apprentice Graduation Event

Alison Edgar MBE X Renault 

Alison was invited back to the great British Motor Museum in Warwick, this time to speak at Renault’s ‘Apprentice Graduation event, to celebrate the achievements of the apprentices and give them tips for their career moving forwards. The session was a 45-minutes and interactive, incorporating the apprentices interests into the presentation, with a Q&A at the end.

‘What a seamless and lovely experience it was work with Alison for our graduation event. Having been let down by an internal supplier with less than 3 weeks until the event date, thinking it would probably be too late Alison absolutely saved the day, the response was really quick and we set up a meeting to discuss our requirements within a couple of days and Alison was extremely flexible in meeting our needs.


On the day Alison was a fantastic ball of positive energy infecting everyone she came into contact with. She was able to put together an excellent presentation within a very short window, even making last minute adjustments at a moments notice, and the audience lapped it up!


If you're looking for a fun engaging positive speaker, Alison is definitely your go to. Thank you Alison!’

At Renault’s apprentice graduation event designed to empower, celebrate and reengerise the graduates, Alison Edgar MBE brought her a blend of inspiration and fun practical tips while celebrating the delegates and helping them to truly be proud of their achievements. Alison delivered an impactful and upbeat session focussed on mindset, change, and how to SMASH IT!®

The session was slightly different to Alisons usual sessions, with a Formula 1 twist to win over the young aspiring technicians.

The Mission

Renault contacted Alison with the mission of finding a motivational speaker who could inspire and celebrate their apprentice graduates, whilst also providing them with actionable tips for their careers. After being let down by an internal supplier, they only had 3 weeks to find a motivational speaker who fit their needs.

Backstage Prep

After connecting with the event organiser and reviewing the event brief, Alison and her team sprang into action. They collaborated behind the scenes to tailor a captivating session that truly understood the Renault apprentices. By researching Renault’s (Alpine F1) history in the sport, they could craft a presentation that felt personal to those in the audience, while still remaining upbeat and motivational.

The Result

The feedback from Renault speaks volumes, Alison's ability to adapt, engage, and inspire, even under pressure - and her genuine passion for helping young people in their early careers - made her the perfect choice for Renault's apprentice graduation event. Throughout the session, Alison gave out copies of her book as prizes, and the graduates were engaged throughout.
