A 23-year-old apprentice is hoping to become a role model for women who want to get into a trade.
Katie Jones finished school not knowing what she wanted to do and after completing her A-Levels was told that she should go to university despite having no interest in further education. The teen at the time knew she wanted to get hands-on and after leaving college she found herself working for a catering company that toured the country with musicians.
Katie was touring with Westlife when the Covid-19 pandemic hit and she was forced to move back home after travelling up and down the country. But she used the time at home to adjust and quickly found herself looking at taking on a trade.
