Sarah Weller
UK Truck and Plant Group
Mechanic and Director of UK Truck and Plant
Ampthill road, MK42 9JJ, Bedford, Bedfordshire
Sarah is a female thriving in a male-dominated industry. Not only is she the director of UK Truck and Plant Group, but she is also a qualified mechanic with many qualifications under her belt (including HGV licence, IRTEC and FORS), tackling female stereotypes and at the same time exceeding in what she does.
Sarah and the company are also part of the government’s Kickstart scheme to employ young adults into work placements, to help them in their future careers, meaning she handles trainees helping them to gain the experience they need.
Not only is she a boss, but she is also a friend to each of her members of staff, supporting them on a personal level by creating a crèche for their children (situated in our head office), enabling them to come to work and not worry about childcare.
Overall, Sarah is everything you’d want and need in a role model and a hero by inspiring everyone around her. What a hero!
We’re highlighting some of the fantastic work that our road hauliers have been doing recently, across multiple disciplines, skills and qualifications, in order to keep our country going during these challenging times.
