With Karen Boom.....Founder Of She's Electric

In 2010 Karen searched for an Electrician to do a small job. The fact that she encountered a mixture of reactions (too busy to quote, came out to quote and never got back to me, never turned up to quote or the quote was ridiculously expensive) projected her onto her journey of wanting to be an electrician, as she saw two massive gaps in the market. In the midst of a midlife crisis, she decided to retrain - the route into trades as a mature person, especially a female one, is not an easy road to travel, however she persevered. She is proud to be able to share that she went on to receive her TMIET Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) Certificate.In the last 12 years she has reached the final of Screwfix Britain's Top Tradesperson. Shortly after that Hattie Hasan MBE inspired her to produce a fundraising calendar in aid of The Register Of Tradeswomen with the images captured by Sarah Toon LRPS ASICIP.Over the years she has had the pleasure of mentoring and supporting many people and is a true inspiration.To find out more about Karen head to her website - http://sheselectric.uk/And follow her on instagram here:- https://www.instagram.com/sheselectricuk/You have been listening to The Sisterhood....In Session Podcast - thank you so much for joining us!The Sisterhood Networking Group is an award winning franchise with branches in many locations across the UK.We are passionate about changing the face of in person networking, our goal being to make it as accessible and affordable for as many as possible.Nothing local for you to attend?
