Two friends who first met while studying at Runshaw College in Leyland are building exciting careers as engineers at the same company. This International Women in Engineering Day (23 June), Jess Turner and Freya Matthews hope to inspire more women to consider careers as engineers - with statistics showing only 16.

Jess and Freya secured two of 14 places on the Engineering Training Programme of gas network Cadent, for which hundreds applied. They recently graduated, after two years of on-the-job and classroom-based study, and are now key members of a team keeping millions warm in their homes.
