Extracting Potential: Developing quarrying's next generation of talent

摘要

People often ask me why I chose to work in quarrying. My honest answer is that, as a young woman setting out in the industry, I had no appreciation that this was in any way unusual. When I started my career at Tarmac, working at their Bestwood Quarry, in Nottinghamshire, my manager was female, while my mentor - Karen Draper - was and remains among the most senior women working in the business. In that sense, I was completely used to seeing and being around strong female role models.
