A female electrician has racked up 35 years in the trade – after starting her sparky career aged just six.
Lisa Marie Evans, 40, used to help her grandad Gerry when she was a youngster and could rewire an entire house by the time she was 16.
And she was determined to carry on the family business, taking over G Evans Electrical from Gerry, who died aged 83.

And the mum of three has stuck at the profession despite facing sexism from clients, with some “scoffing at the thought of a woman electrician’’.
She said: “I am one of the best electricians there is, male or female, yet I still get looks while offering my services.
“I had my first lesson in electrics when I was just four.
“I was tiny so my grandad would throw me in lofts and small spaces to help with the electrics.
“I just love it and have always wanted to do my grandad proud. Never missed a day’s work.
“I hope my kids will do the same one day. It’s not just a career to us.”
The sparky, from West Kirby, Wirral, Merseyside, is now giving her eldest son Kyle, 18, tips and tricks to help him become a top electrician in the hope he’ll continue the business one day.
Lisa, who also has Arya, four and Kali, one, said: “During my 35 years as an electrician I suffered
multiple accounts of sexist comments, but I never let it stop me.
“Even when I was pregnant with my first-born, Kyle, I continued working.
“I probably should’ve taken breaks, but I loved working and I never wanted to stop until I was forced to.
“I’ve helped single mothers with their rewiring, people with disabilities and they’re so grateful.”
