Since joining the Business Development Team at Rilmac Insulation & Asbestos Services Jessica Minihan has found herself ‘on the right track’. As the business expands further in to the exciting and growing world of Rail Jessica has found a particular interest in the industry and is passionate about driving Rilmac in this direction.

Having already visited trade expos and attended a number of Rail Infrastructure Network events the next logical step was for Jessica to join the Women in Rail organisation. As a member of WREM (Women in Rail East Midlands) she is finding the group to be both useful and popular.

The Women in Rail organisation was founded to improve diversity in the UK rail sector. It provides events, networking opportunities and support for all women within the industry and also encourage stakeholders to adopt a diverse business strategy. The organisation also grows initiatives aimed at positioning rail as an attractive career choice for young women.

“It is exciting to be part of this group,” said Jessica, “and be able to gain a wider understanding of the industry as a whole, and where Rilmac can provide a service.”
