2006 First Woman of Manufacturing

Carol Burke, Unipart Eberspacher Exhaust Systems
Since a young age, when she defied expectations and pursued a career in engineering and business rather than the law or medicine, Carol has been setting her own goals. She went on to thrive at British Steel, Premier Exhaust Systems and, mostly recently, at Unipart Eberspacher Exhaust Systems. As managing director, she has faced a hugely challenging period, particularly following the closure of MG Rover. However, this remarkable businesswoman is a true champion of British manufacturing.
