🌟 40 under 40 Alumnae Spotlight: Emily Booth 🌟

As we approach GCSE and A Level results days, today we are continuing our ‘40 under 40’ series and spotlighting Emily Booth, who is driving change in the fast-paced world of the automotive industry. 🚗✨

Since graduating from Nottingham Trent University, Emily has built an impressive career, spending six years at BMW UK in roles ranging from Area Sales Manager to Product Manager for Ireland. She recently took the next step in her journey, joining Auto Trader as a Partnerships Director.

Emily is a true trailblazer in a male-dominated sector. In 2025, she was recognized in the Autocar Great Women Awards for her outstanding contribution to marketing, and she played a key role in launching BMW’s new electric models to the market. ⚡🏆

Reflecting on her time at school, Emily credits her success to hard work and the incredible support she received from her teachers. Her advice for our current pupils is to be determined to be the best version of yourself and to seek out work experience that help you stand out in a competitive world. 🛡💖
