Ellora Coupe, is a project manager and interior designer supporting women in understanding the process of retrofit through her community group "Her Own Space". She believes that incentives and legislation needs to be introduced to better support homeowners make the right decision to improve the energy performance and health of their homes.

Statement:

"Her Own Space" believes that creating a careers hub for women has the opportunity to ensure the building trade not only appeals to women but provides the right training and support for women considering a professional career. Women have a significant capacity to contribute to the skills shortage and drive retrofit standards in the UK and more education and incentives need to be created to ensure this outcome.
