At Hastings, we value the expertise of all our professionals, yet we recognise we need to do our part to help bring more gender balance to the data and tech industry. We're committed to celebrating and supporting women in these areas, building a more diverse pool of data and tech professionals, and changing the profile of the industry over time. This month, we hear from our colleague Desiree, a Data Engineer at Hastings Direct. Desiree completed a degree in Social Policy at university but after reading a book on Big Data, found a new passion in new technologies. Are you interested in starting a career in tech with an inclusive, supportive company? Take a look at our opportunities and apply.
