WOMEN students in Warrington are proving they can make it in the male-dominated construction industry.

Two were among 200 Warrington Collegiate pupils who put their skills to the test in an event to mark National Construction Week.

Sarah Jones, 17 and Leah Harris, 19, are both first year students on the painting and decorating course at Warrington Collegiate. Former Penketh high school pupil Sarah hopes to go on to study interior design and Leah, who went to Newman High School, has ambitions to own a painting and decorating business.
