Supporting Grit, Talent, and Teamwork: McGowan Transcriptions and Racing Driver Ashley Gregory

At McGowan Transcriptions, we believe in backing people who reflect the values we’ve built our business on: hard work, resilience, and the power of a brilliant team.

That’s why we’re proud sponsors of Ashley Gregory, a rising star in the 2025 MINI Challenge Trophy UK. As the only woman competing in the championship, Ashley brings not just speed and skill, but also determination, courage, and a team-first mindset – qualities we admire deeply.

We recently attended Round 3 of the championship at Thruxton, where Ashley delivered an incredible performance.

After a difficult round at Brands Hatch and a full car rebuild, Ashley and her privateer team arrived at Thruxton Circuit ready to fight. She qualified fifth, placed fourth in Race 1, and clinched a thrilling second-place podium finish in Race 2 after a last-corner overtake. While Race 3 ended early due to a technical issue, Ashley left the weekend with enough points to climb to sixth in the overall standings.

Her determination and talent were on full display – and we couldn’t be prouder to support her.

Why This Partnership Matters

This sponsorship is about more than logos and race-day excitement. It’s about values we share:

• Breaking barriers – In a male-dominated sport, Ashley is showing the next generation that there’s space for women at the front of the grid.
• Powering through challenges – Whether it’s a tight deadline or a rain-soaked racetrack, resilience is everything.
• Teamwork behind the scenes – Like Ashley’s crew, our UK-based transcription team is the engine behind our success. They’re experts, and their work drives results.

At McGowan Transcriptions, we’ve spent the last 32 years excelling in a field that’s often overlooked or automated – and doing it with a human-first approach that sets us apart. Ashley’s journey resonates with us because it’s grounded in the same grit and passion that powers our business.

What’s Next?

Ashley will be back in action at Croft Circuit on 28-29 June, and we’ll be watching every lap. You can catch the races live on the BARC YouTube channel.
