Rochelle Wright: The Electrician Fighting for Change
New Tracks | Episode 5 – Places She Shapes with Zoe Smeeth
Rochelle Wright is an electrician at PPS Electrical, working on the Sellafield nuclear site in the Lake District. She is also a bodybuilder, a mum, and the founder of Herbasix, a platform she is building to give workers in construction a way to report harassment, access support, and actually be heard.
She wanted to be an electrician at school. She was talked out of it. At 25, she decided she was doing it anyway, and she has not looked back since.
What makes Rochelle’s episode so compelling is not just what she has done, but how honest she is about why she did it. The Unite the Union survey that changed everything. The day she cried in a toilet on site and drove home without explaining why.
She is also, it has to be said, brilliant company. This one is warm, funny, and completely unfiltered.
