For ~WomensHistoryMonth, we’re celebrating our amazing colleagues who challenge self-limiting fears and inspire others to ~BreakTheLoop.

Caroline Steadman, Broadcast Technology R&D, Star Sports – “Leaving behind the English countryside, I came to London at 15. Alongside attending university, I also worked as an apprentice engineer at a night club for seven years and eventually became the head engineer. Sound engineering, back then, was a male-dominated field. It was a physical job that involved a lot of heavy lifting – speakers, amplifier racks, etc. So, I'd be lifting and tipping things, even though I did not have the body frame needed for it. It led me to have arthritis in my early 20s.

Being a single mother, I remember taking my daughter to work. She would be hidden in the sling with her little ear defenders on, having her milk while I mixed the bands. Sadly, I had to leave the festival job and I was heartbroken. That's when my best friend brought me to India. Now I have a challenging and fantastic job in Star Sports Broadcast Tech R&D and I’m a proud, independent single mother. The richness of being a career woman adds to my daughter's life – she loves me coming home and telling her all about virtual reality. I hope she carries that stubbornness through to forge her own happy, successful path, regardless of what others may think.”

Another exciting year of ‘Bring Your Kids to Work’ day at Star! This year, we turned our office into a fantasy world for children. With everything from magic and storytelling workshops to craft activities and an all-day movie zone. The kids at Star had an awesome time. Catch a glimpse of all the fun we had! +LifeAtStar +BringYourKidsToWork
