Answer 1

There are 300,000 truck drivers in the UK, of whom 1,600 (0.5%) are women. Katie (previous pages) completed her category C HGV exams in 2010 and started her career at her dad's haulage firm, JL Gillard & Sons in Somerset. She now works for Tarmac at a quarry in Wiltshire.

I left college with a full qualification to work with young children, but decided it wasn't for me. My dad told me that the age limit to get an HGV licence had changed from 21 to 19 and suggested I do the exams. I passed the test first time in 2010 and last year I passed the class 1 articulated lorry test. Walking into the classroom to do the first of my HGV practical exams was really intimidating. I was the only girl.
