Six women at 2010 Rotherham Ltd are lighting the way to success in what are traditionally seen as men’s jobs. It is hoped the success of 2010 electrician Emma Martin and her five women apprentice colleagues will spark an interest in becoming an electrician or plumber among the younger generation. 2010 Rotherham Ltd – which repairs, maintains and improves Rotherham’s 22,000 Council homes – is offering work placements to school children for one to three weeks and is particularly keen to hear from female students. Paul Ruston, 2010 Rotherham Ltd’s Mechanical and Electrical Services Manager, said: "We see our female operatives as a major asset at 2010 Rotherham Ltd. They have shown what can be achieved and this will hopefully encourage other women to pursue careers within the construction industry." One young apprentice, Laura Miller said: "I wanted a job to match my lifestyle and I like the fact that as an apprentice you’re earning while learning. I thought I would have heard some comments about it being a man’s job and not suitable for a woman, but to be honest I haven’t encountered anything like that."
