In an industry traditionally dominated by men, Katarzyna Górna has proven that determination, passion, and hard work can overcome any barrier. For 10 years, she has been a proud member of the Boekestijn team, paving the way for other women in transport.
Reflecting on her journey, Katarzyna shared:
"My venture into the transportation industry was not without its challenges. Despite obtaining all the necessary qualifications, I faced reluctance from potential employers. Many companies were apprehensive about hiring a young and inexperienced woman as a driver. However, the experience was different at Boekestijn. The company allowed me to gain experience gradually, enabling me to navigate through various European destinations, including England and Ireland, in my current capacity."
Katarzyna is now one of the faces of HighWheels, our program dedicated to empowering women in the transport industry. Through this initiative, we encourage women to explore careers as professional drivers and provide the support needed to succeed.
Her story is an inspiration to many and a reminder that with the right opportunities and determination, gender should never define one's potential.
