Empowered Dromad manager

6 July 2022

Dromad Hire recently appointed Phyllis O’Brien as regional workshop and fleet manager.

She has an in-depth knowledge of the hire industry having worked with Dromad for the past six years as accounts administrator. 

The Dundalk-based company says that a large percentage of female employees now hold positions in both supervisory and managerial roles.

“Since commencing my career, I have been encouraged to challenge myself and to continue to advance and develop by taking on different roles and opportunities,” Phyllis said.  “I always knew I wanted to have a challenging job and that each day would be different.

“Throughout my journey so far with Dromad, I have been lucky to work with a number of role models, both male and female in management functions. I found my female role models to be encouraging and extremely positive in progressing in what is generally a male dominated environment. 

“These are wonderful characteristics to have and we need more individuals like this in the hire industry. This influence and support has helped me to take on my new challenge with confidence.”
