On International Women's Day, Victoria Boyle is doing her bit for gender equality after taking on the responsibility of transport manager at Legion Scaffolding, which was established by her brother Daniel in 2012. She worked initially as his personal assistant before stepping up to become company secretary. Then, after a vacancy arose for a new transport manager, Victoria jumped at the opportunity. "I told Daniel I really wanted to have a go at managing the fleet and he agreed to back me," she recalled. "Although times are changing, it's not a job in which you'll find many women. But I've always worked in male-dominated environments - I've sold cars and was also a shift manager at DPD, for example - and it suits my character. I knew I could make a go of it." And so it's proved. She participated in an intensive two-week training course at Essex Driver Training in Battlesbridge last summer, at the end of which she passed an examination to secure her transport manager's Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) qualification from CILT. |
