London – Katie Kelleher, a crawler crane operator, launched stickers that highlight women in the crane and heavy lifting industry, reading: “Girls Can’t What??”.

Kelleher said she attended a Women’s Engineering Society event at Brookland’s Motor Museum where they handed out different, small stickers.

“I posted mine on social media and the feedback around that small sticker was great, however I felt it was missing an on site feel and wondered if I could make my own but pimp them up a bit —and you don’t get much cooler than a crane,” she said. “Plus the lack of females who operate cranes in the UK, I thought it could be quite cool to try and get the message out there, I do a good few school visits and thought I could bring these along.”

Kelleher said she was hoping parents would understand the message and want the stickers for their daughters, which is what has been happening.
