For the first time in the podcast’s history, we speak to an external Woman of Steel. SUSTAIN’s Dr Becky Waldram didn’t plan for a career in the steel industry but finds herself deeply embedded in projects aiming to create carbon neutral, resource-efficient UK steel supply chains. Growing up with a passion for discovering how things work, Becky always wanted to wander down the STEM career path. Influenced by a D&T teacher at school, Becky pursued engineering rather than computer science, and now works in a predominantly female team! Find out how this industry anomaly has changed the dynamic of Becky’s working day, and how she’s dedicates time to inspire the next generation of STEM minds.

In this episode, Abi chats to Area HR Manager, Tuesday Ibbotson. After just two years spent in the steel industry, Tuesday is already making a name for herself – from her involvement in the Steel Women’s Network to becoming a major player in the development of Tata Steel’s Diversity and Inclusion Programme. But for Tuesday, her life and career trajectory hasn’t always been on the up. From teenager years spent in hospital beds to the struggles of finding a full-time job and postponed plans to travel the world – how did she become the well-rounded and inspiring person she is today? Listen in to hear Tuesday talk about the freedom of not knowing what you what to do ‘when you grow up’, her big ambitions to make Tata Steel one of the most progressive and inclusive businesses in the world – and not forgetting – some interesting takes on the recent #Barbie movie!

In this episode, Abi chats to Lead Technician for Raw Materials, Georgia Cox. Woman in STEM, powerlifter, feminist campaigner and the official Miss Port Talbot – is there anything Georgia can’t do? At age of 20, Georgia has already secured herself a permanent job in Port Talbot steelworks, just six months after joining the company as a Higher Laboratories Apprentice. But it wasn’t an easy path for Georgia. Academically gifted, Georgia secured a place in one of the world’s top universities, but she felt something just wasn’t right... Tune in to hear Georgia talk about making big decisions in your formative years, growing your confidence and giving yourself room to grow, change your mind and ultimately, to do what you love. Don’t miss this honest and uplifting chat with one of our rising Women of Steel.
