A woman is making more money after quitting her job as a waitress to become a plasterer.HullLiveMadi never intended to become a tradie but quit her job as a waitress during the pandemic as she couldn't see herself continuing with it long-term. She decided to take a four-day plastering course while furloughed with the intention of helping her with home improvements when she eventually bought a house.

Madi said:"Before I set up my business, She Plasters, I thought that people, men in particular, would doubt my ability to plaster but, to my wonderful surprise, the majority of people have been extremely supportive and complimentary. I get the odd male tradie who thinks I can’t do my job but in my opinion, they are just jealous that the women in the trade are smashing it."

"First off, it’s different and people like different. I also get a lot of elderly customers, along with single parents - I think they just feel more comfortable with a female being around the house, I know I would." "The flexibility of having my own business is great - knowing I don’t need to request holidays etc. With anyone who has their own business, you can work quite literally whenever you want.

I’m very grateful for the plasterers who have helped me along the way.
