I'm the only female joiner I know – trolls tell me to stay at home but there's a job perk women will love
Jade McDonald loves her job and wants other women to follow in her footsteps JOIN ME I'm the only female joiner I know – trolls tell me to stay at home but there's a job perk women will love Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A LONELY female joiner has told how she's desperate to work with another woman on-site. Jade McDonald, 30, has been on the tools for four years but has only ever done jobs alongside men. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Female joiner Jade McDonald loves her job Credit: Newsline Media 6 Jade McDonald is keen to see other women become joiners Credit: Facebook/Jade McDonald 6 Jade was partner Kyle's first employee when he started his own business Credit: Facebook/Jade McDonald 6 Jade says she'd take on a female apprentice, despite not needing staff Credit: Newsline Media She revealed she's been told she should stay at home, stared at and even branded a 'dyke' by a stranger. But she admitted she's deliriously happy in her job and wants other women to follow in her footsteps. And not having to do her hair and make-up before heading to work, like she had to in her old job, has been a bonus. Jade, from Alford, Aberdeenshire, said: 'I'd love it if there was just one more woman to share the load. I've never seen another female joiner. 'We don't need any staff right now. But if a female came to me I would hire them in a heartbeat. 'I want to show that we can do this job as well as any man, and make it more normal. It's been such a male-orientated world for so long.' Jade was an admin assistant until 2021 when her partner Kyle Sutherland, 28, started his own business and asked her to join as his only employee. She was thrown in at the deep end as his apprentice joiner and project manager and the pair have worked seven day weeks ever since. Jade immediately felt under pressure as she got weird looks from strangers whenever she popped into shops in her work clothes. And she had to deal with patronising comments from other tradies, who reckoned she wouldn't be up to the job. But she decided enough was enough. I was female debt collector - mortifying incident in man's flat made me quit She said: 'It got to the point where I was terrified to go to the shop. I could feel eyes on me and it was just uncomfortable. 'And on a few jobs I've had comments like 'no woman should be here'. People will try and blame me for things that go wrong. They want to see me fail. 'But I stood up to one guy and that was the day I grew a backbone, because I'd had enough. I go to shop now and I just don't care anymore.' Jade and Kyle have now taken on another four members of staff and the business is going from strength to strength. She's picked up gongs for embracing diversity and inclusion at the Trades Awards. But she made it clear that she doesn't expect any special treatment on building sites. Jade said: 'A guy told me he was getting female portaloos for when quantity surveyors come out. 'But that's not what I want. I want to be an equal. I don't want a posh loo because I'm a female. "People start thinking we're getting treated differently then. 6 Jade doesn't care if people judge her for being a female joiner Credit: Newsline Media 6 Jade has picked up gongs at the Trades Awards 'We just want to go on site, not be stared at, not have these comments and just fit in. "We just want to be comfortable and to be safe in these jobs.' Jade is now considering going into schools and colleges to talk to women who fancy a career as joiners. She added: 'I just want to normalise it. There are probably women out there who want to do it but are terrified to do it. 'It would mean the world to me if someone decided to become a joiner because of me. 'But we don't want to take over the world or the trade. We just want to feel equal and safe.'

Focus: Evercore deal accelerates talent dash as banks anticipate M&A upturn
LONDON/NEW YORK, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Boutique deal-making adviser Evercore (EVR.N), opens new tab accelerated its campaign to become a significant force in Europe, the world's second largest pool of M&A fees, with a purchase last week that locks in talent ahead of a possible upturn in activity. Bankers forecast a return of mega-deals following a lull in corporate deal-making linked to the uncertainty surrounding U.S. tariffs. In Europe, increased defence spending has raised the prospect of deal-making in the sector and lower interest rates could also spur activity, analysts have said. Founded in 1995 by former deputy secretary of the U.S. Treasury Roger Altman, Evercore last week bought UK advisory firm Robey Warshaw for $196 million, following senior hires in France and Italy in the last two years. Although relatively small, Robey Warshaw has advised on some of the biggest deals of the last decade in Britain, including the sale of BG Group to Shell (SHEL.L), opens new tab, Comcast's takeover of Sky, and Softbank's (9434.T), opens new tab acquisition of Arm. Evercore said the deal, which is expected to close at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2025, would increase its standing in Britain and open up opportunities across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The acquisition means Evercore will have more than 400 bankers across nine countries in the region. "EMEA is the focal point of our global expansion strategy,' Matthew Lindsey-Clarke, co-head of Evercore's EMEA Investment Banking business, told Reuters. "This move greatly enhances our capabilities in the UK and Europe, opening up new client opportunities in a region where we have been building up a significant presence in recent years." He said it would bolster Evercore's access to British boardrooms and the ability to work for large cap companies across the EMEA region. Until now, Evercore's strength has been in the world's biggest source of M&A business, the United States. Evercore ranks eighth globally for M&A financial advice with a 9.7% market share, according to LSEG data. Its highest global placing was in the years 2019 and 2023 when it took sixth place, although it has achieved a top 10 position in this table every year since 2015. In Europe, Evercore has grown its share of the market over the last decade and has ranked in the top 20 in terms of deals advisory since 2018, according to LSEG data. It climbed to a high of eighth in deals advisory ranking last year. But it faces stiff competition. Other boutique advisers, including PJT Partners (PJT.N), opens new tab and PWP (PWP.O), opens new tab, have also made individual senior hires from rivals in Europe. Banks have scooped up advisory firms. In 2023, Mizuho Financial Group bought Greenhill for $550 million and Mediobanca purchased London-based Arma Partners for an undisclosed amount. The United States' largest banks, including JP Morgan and Citi, over the last two years have hired aggressively globally. In April, JP Morgan said it had added more than 300 bankers across its global banking unit since the start of 2024. While Evercore has to be realistic about its size, it can focus on trying to get the best talent. "You're not going to compete against Goldman on the back of your balance sheet or your IPO underwriting capabilities of which you have none," Paul-Noël Guély, founder and managing partner of Arma Partners, which has around 135 staff globally, told Reuters. "You're going to be thinking I want the best bankers. And Robey Warshaw has five partners all of them extremely talented, very high-quality guys. That's exactly who Evercore want to bring on board." Founded in 2013 by veteran dealmakers Simon Robey, Simon Warshaw and Philip Apostolides, Robey Warshaw's 18 employees generated revenue of 85.8 million pounds ($113.50 million) last year, according to its latest accounts. "[Evercore] are adding the talent of Robey [Warshaw,] just in time for another surge in deals," said investor Macrae Sykes of Gabelli Funds, which has stakes in PJT and Moelis & Co (MC.N), opens new tab. "We see pipelines are strong, and the outlook is getting better." Evercore is also doing its best to hold on to its new hires after banks have been vocal about the increased costs of retaining talent. Robey Warshaw's partners will be given incentives to stay at Evercore with payments of stock and cash over six years, according to regulatory filings. The deal has also been set up with an initial payment of Evercore stock at closing and a second payment in stock or cash at the one-year anniversary of the deal. Charles Talbot, managing director at headhunting firm Wyndham Partners, said there was an emerging trend in which deals advisory firms were seeking increased time commitments from their senior hires. "We have worked on MD hires where clients are asking for a five-year clawback on make-whole, sign-on and guarantee bonus payments," he said. ($1 = 0.7560 pounds)
