Womens Day 2024

Mar 07, 2024

For Women's Day 2024 - we've aimed to share stories of women throughout the MCFT business. We asked them why they chose to work at MCFT, about their experiences and advice for others considering MCFT for their next role.

Sam, one our Refrigeration Technicians - shared her story celebrating women's day:

Who I am and how I got here.

Growing up with two older brothers had me torn between being a girly girl and not wanting to be left out of the boys club. Luckily for me I had an amazing supportive family that said you can be both. So I did and boy did it pay off.

There is no word (Can’t) only won’t!

This is a saying I heard a lot growing up, and I put it into practice every time I felt:

I CANT DO THAT
I CAN’T RIDE THAT
I CAN’T LIFT THAT
I CAN’T WORK THERE
I CAN’T COMPETE IN THAT
I CAN’T ASK FOR HELP
I CAN’T BE ME

Things that being a women hasn’t stopped me doing

Competitive rafting
Passing my mod1 and mod2 motorbike test
Joining my local engineering group
Becoming a female refrigeration technician
Building steam engines

Having a good support network helps

I love working in a company and in an environment, that supports me in my day to day working life, but also in the days where there are difficulties and problems.

I’m fortunate to live In a world that celebrates women in the work place, and encourages all my aspirations and supports my decisions. I really do love the fact more and more women are taking roles in the service industry.

Working for MCFT knowing they actively encouraging women into the industry make me feel so proud to work where I work .
