This new podcast aims to both celebrate those women who are succeeding in their careers in a variety of different industries as well as talk to those who are just starting out. Looking at challenges, opportunities and hopefully learning from each other along the way. Perhaps by being more open about both the positives and negatives about being a woman in industry we can clear up some misconceptions about working in manufacturing and associated sectors. I have had a career within the the metals industry for over 30 years and you can find more information about me at KirstyDaviesChinnock.com
