Although women represent at least 50% of the UK workforce, they are severely under- represented in most trade professions – many of which are facing huge skills gap shortages..
Recent figures indicate that less than one in every thousand electrical contractors is female.
With its ‘Jobs for the Girls’ campaign NICEIC aim to highlight the exciting opportunities available to females within the electrical industry and dispel the myth that trade professions are a viable career path for men only. Like us NICEIC wants an industry built on skills and qualifications while ensuring there is a level playing field for all who wish to operate within it.
Who We Are |
Athena Electrical Ltd is a women owned, independent company, offering a wide range of electrical and environmental services. Based in North London, and with a proven track record in the building industry, we believe that value for money and the highest safety standards are as important as quality workmanship and outstanding customer service. Established in 1994 as a traditional electrical contracting company, our concern about the environment and our interest in sustainability has led us to extend our offering to include energy assessments and advice, and in 2010 we became MCS Accredited Solar PV Installers. We are dedicated to ensuring that a renewable energy future isn’t just a possibility, but a reality. |
