In this episode of Two PiGs in a Pod, George sits down with Rebecca Clayton, Communications and Marketing Director at IQ Glass, to explore a career journey that is anything but ordinary.

Rebecca originally applied for a receptionist and office manager role, only to be handed a technical field sales position instead. Thrown in at the deep end, she learned fast, building her knowledge of products, projects and the wider glazing sector through hands-on experience and determination.

She reflects on being the first woman in the company, carving out her place in a male-dominated environment, and progressing all the way to the senior leadership team.

It is an honest conversation about ambition, resilience and why visible career pathways matter for women entering the sector today.

Plus, Rebecca steps up to the PiGs “This or That” challenge. Early starter or late finisher? City break or countryside escape? Risk taker or risk manager? And the big one… coffee or tea?
