Mechanic Rachel hopes to rev women up

- By Jack Tolson

A MONK Bretton car mechanic has made it to the final of Miss England – and she’s looking to inspire women to do anything they put their minds to.

Rachel Himsworth, 25, has worked as a car mechanic since she left school.

When the opportunit­y arose to enter herself into this year’s Miss England competitio­n, she saw it as a chance to empower and inspire other women.

“I started as a car mechanic from school and I did voluntary work experience.

“I now work at a Ford dealership – I’ve been doing this for nine or ten years.

“I’ve managed to get in the finals of the Miss England competitio­n but it’s come completely out of the blue.

“I just want to encourage women and show them they can do anything they put their minds to.”
