Here's who I am & what I do
I've spent most of my working life in rooms I was told I didn't belong in. At sixteen I was the first female apprentice at Balfour Kilpatrick, training as an industrial electrician at Sizewell B. Since then I've worked in sales, been an estate agent, qualified as a financial planner and run my own recruitment firm.
Owning a race team was never on the plan. My husband Antony and I started out karting, and now EXCELR8 runs cars in the British Touring Car Championship with around a hundred people behind it. These days I also host events and speak to audiences of every size.
If you come up against a stereotype in your career, use it as fuel and prove people wrong.
Awards evenings, dinners, launches and panel discussions, kept moving and kept warm, with the preparation done properly beforehand.

Find out more →On site at the power station, some of the team didn't think I'd be strong enough or clever enough to do the job. I told my boss it needed to change, and I ended up running my own office and my own team of electricians.
Motorsport is the next male-dominated world I've walked into. There are more women in it than there were, but still not enough, and I want the next generation to see there's a place for them here.
