Women of Steel S1 E5 - Carol Hughes

Starting her career with what was then British steel in her late teens in Corby, the daughter of a furnace-man Carol Hughes had steel in her blood.   In her first role as a record clerk, Carol was able to see what else the company had to offer and was keen to join the buzz and energy of the commercial team – working hard to finally to get a role in the team she had longed to join after a few years of trying.   Surrounded by alpha males, sales was exciting, but not without its challenges. Carol traveled the world with the company, returned to education and climbed the career ladder to manage a commercial team of 12.    An inspirational conversation with a woman who demonstrates that working hard and being respectful of others can lead to a fulfilling career, having fun along the way as well.
