Why aren't there more women in the printing industry?

Taor Morris: Great article and answer written by both Sophie and Laurel. I know what you mean about it being a very male dominated sector. I know a few estimators who are women but when I visit print houses you rarely get many women working on the machines they are usually the ones doing the finishing or stuffing envelopes. I fell into working within the Printing Industry just on the off chance as my Father runs our Print Management company and he offered me an admin job after I completed Hospitality and Catering at College in 2005. As I knew nothing else I've stayed but this wouldn't have been the career path I would have chosen if I knew better. But I have learnt so much in 8 years. The job has given me a lot of confidence, I attend a lot of networking events which I love, I have created a good brand behind the company now which wasn't there before but I still hate the dreaded cold calling, which I tend to do cold tweets now instead :) I love the marketing side to print as that can always be fun. My only recommendation is when people tell you 'do not work with family', DON'T!! especially when your Father's the boss.
