BUDDING female engineers from Culcheth High School were given a rare glimpse of life in the industry as part of a national event.

National Women in Engineering Day saw pupils from the school visit international engineering and project management company AMEC’s laboratory in Birchwood last week.

AMEC group HR director Will Serle said “Attracting more women into science and engineering is one part of our diversity and inclusion policy across the company and we are determined to make further progress.”
