King has become the first recipient of the Spirit of everywoman Award, made in recognition of the significant contribution that she has made to the commercial vehicle industry over the past 25 years.
Maxine Benson, co founder of everywoman said: ‘The inaugural Spirit of everywoman Award is given to an individual who, the awards panel believes, has made an outstanding contribution to the industry. Nikki’s undoubted passion, dedication, determination and leadership style have not only made her an industry pioneer but also a role model for all women in business. Throughout her career she has always maintained that women have so much to offer the workplace, not least in the male dominated world of transport and logistics. As a leader, she has ensured that Isuzu Truck UK was always a business that fostered the talents of women.’
