A charity has told 5 live that less than two per cent of people working in manual trades in the UK are women.

Women on the Tools, which aims to encourage women to take up jobs like plumbing and construction, says it's a picture which has barely changed in 40 years.

Katie Kelleher is the only female crane operator at Tottenham Court Road Crossrail site.
