THE founder of inspirational content and clothing company, She Who Dares Wins, has taken space at Sunny Bank Mills in Farsley.
Michelle Hands has moved her firm into a studio in the refurbished 10 Old Combing building in the heart of the mill complex.
Michelle, who has spent 17 years in the male-dominated property, construction and civil engineering sectors, set up She Who Dares Wins to inspire and empower women to take up careers in these industries.
She explained: “She Who Dares Wins is a culmination of my life’s experience, combining my training and work as an actor, filmmaker, content creator and public speaker with my life as a construction engineer, predominantly in landfill sites across the UK.
“I have lived in a man’s world for most of my life, which has been both fascinating and challenging. Working with tough Alpha males, whose behaviour often leaves a good deal of room for improvement, is eye-opening.
“But the experience inspired me to create a company and a brand that empowers women to challenge convention and celebrate their own strengths and I am delighted to report that this has gained real traction, bringing a strong and vibrant community together.”
Michelle, who lives in nearby Horsforth, runs her own clothing brand as well as creating content, videos and podcasts for clients.
