How It All Started
Season 1 Episode: 4Welcome to this episode of our podcast, where we have the pleasure of interviewing Rebecca Winterfield, the owner of Antz Labour Hire and Ladies Tradies. Rebecca has an inspiring story to share with us today, as she takes us through her journey from growing up on a farm in South Australia to owning her own business and empowering women in the traditionally male-dominated trades industry.
Rebecca's parents sold their farm and moved into the accommodation business, where she worked as a receptionist. However, she always knew she wanted to do something more, something that would challenge her and allow her to make a difference. She found that opportunity in the trades industry.
Starting with just one employee, Rebecca built up her business, Antz Labour Hire, which supplies temporary staff to the construction industry. But she didn't stop there. She also founded Ladies Tradies, an organization that aims to encourage and support women to enter and succeed in the trades industry.
In this episode, Rebecca shares her experiences and insights into what it takes to succeed in business and empower women in the trades industry. She discusses the challenges she faced as a woman in a male-dominated industry and how she overcame them. She also talks about the importance of networking and building relationships, as well as the rewards that come with helping women achieve their goals.
So join us as we sit down with Rebecca Winterfield to hear her inspiring story and learn from her experiences as a successful business owner and advocate for women in the trades industry.
