Attending my first Women Installers Together conference set up by the amazing STOPCOCKS GROUP LIMITED. Last week I took a nice early train to London and enjoyed the commute with a good book and a coffee. Interestingly, working from a home office mostly, I relish the chance to get in the hustle and bustle and get stuck in during a busy commute and actually miss it somewhat. This was their 7th year, outgrowing other venues and the number of women travelling to the annual event just keeps growing. I was greeted with coffee and pastries and a rather generous and substantial goody bag. With a chance to network, I felt lost, honestly, everyone seemed to know each other, I was a minority in a minority group - it was strange. Let me explain, with less than 3% of the HVACR trade made up of women, it was a place I thought I would feel my place, but I was a minority again, as only a handful of women there were 'off the tools'. As the morning went on, latecomers arrived, the round tables filled up and the day began. I met women who were installers, plumbers, tilers, electricians and I am sure more than I was yet to meet. It just got better and better, sharing stories of being in a male-dominated trade, the challenges faced with people the female engineers arriving to carry out work, or customers that refuse to speak to us, because we are female and the constant 'Can I speak to an engineer' even though you're more than qualified and experienced to help. I met some very experienced, highly qualified women, doing a fab job whilst facing more challenges than ever before both in the trade and their own work life. I am hoping to meet more women now over the course of this year, that lead, and lead the HVACR business, which is 'off the tools' and in the trade, to see how we can work together in what can be a very lovely and under represented environment. When I graduated with my Business Degree last year, I had never felt being female disqualified me to do anything, I had always felt empowered, and encouraged by both men and women around me, to be who I wanted to be. This year has taught me how much you need cheerleaders in your life, and yes, they can be from any background, in any role and identify however they life - find your cheerleaders - that is exactly what I set out to gain from this day and hope to continue finding.
