Craig Edmondson (Chief Commercial Officer, W Series) said:

'I'm delighted to be joining W Series at such an exciting time for the business. The growth since launch just over two years ago has been remarkable. Our new partnership with Formula 1 is a ringing endorsement of W Series' mission to further the interests and prospects of female racing drivers everywhere and is a fantastic opportunity to maximise our reach and impact.'

Catherine Bond Muir (Chief Executive Officer, W Series) said:

'We promised that W Series would be bigger and better in the future and Craig Edmondson's appointment, fresh off the back of our announcing that our 2021 on-track racing calendar will include eight Formula 1 support races, is further proof of our determination to spread our message farther and wider. Craig has helped grow both early-stage businesses and sporting behemoths such as the Premier League, and that wealth of experience makes him a hugely valuable addition to W Series' already dynamic and dedicated team.'
