FEMALES TO THE FORE
» » Shaped frame and arching
specialist, Universal Arches, is
putting its females to the fore
when it comes to customer
service, sales support and FIT
Show planning.
Over the last few years there
have been an increasing number
of women involved in major
roles within the glazing and
fenestration industries and now
Universal Arches are involving
Kayleigh Pritchard and Caitlin
Whalley in more wide-ranging
responsibilities. Both of them
came straight from college with
Kayleigh now in her ninth year
and Caitlin in her third with the
specialist frame manufacturer.
There’s been an underlying
shift in dynamics in the labour
market as a whole, with around
67% of women, aged 16-64
now in work, an increase from
53% in 1971, according to the
Office for National Statistics.
Seasonally adjusted statistics
also showed that that around
13.4million women were in work
vs 15.3 million men, though the
proportion of those in part time
work between genders varies
significantly.
Leon Day, Managing Director
of Universal Arches commented:
“Both Kayleigh and Caitlin now
have more proactive roles in the
business and their experience
and skillsets fully justify this. I
would expect that more women
will come to the fore in this
industry given the statistics and
opportunities.”
