BIG INTERVIEW INTERVIEW
helps you feel supported and that you can achieve anything. I remember in my Palace to Palace ride, how my two friends stayed with me the whole way, I couldn’t have done it without them. Thank you, Matt and Ian. Building from that was the group of friends who helped me train for Ride London. They encouraged me along, even though I did the actual ride on my own. Thank you, Sally, Sophie and Steph. I love cycling with my friends, feeling safe and enjoying the surroundings. It’s so important that we are there for each other.
What advice would you give to young women considering a career in STEM, particularly in engineering and manufacturing?
If you enjoy it, go for it! It’s a great subject with many transferable skills. It’s still a male-dominated industry, but a diverse perspective can make a big difference. My one personal advice is - be yourself.
How does your experience working at a well-known Global consumer goods company compare to working in the cycling industry?
52 | May 2025
Brompton pride themselves on handmade bespoke manufacturing, which is different to mass-produced consumer goods. The bespoke nature of the bikes means there are many variations that can be made tailored to each customer.
Do you like to separate the different parts of your life? Or does the Yogi, Mum, Engineer, podcast host, and actor influence what you do in one way or another?
I pride myself in being me – an outgoing, people person, who is positive, and a bit loud. Whether you know me through yoga, engineering, a family member or any other avenue – it’s the same me. I prefer to amalgamate all the different parts of my life.
What’s next? What are your future aspirations within the cycling industry and beyond? As I said earlier, I love to experience lots of things, so who knows what I’ll be doing next? I do know I want to help people move well and feel great – whether that’s through bikes, yoga or something else. ●
