Listen Later

What happens when someone stops accepting "that's just how it is" and decides to fix it?

In this episode of The ToolShed Podcast, Mick Hawes sits down with Kym O'Leary, founder of COgear Industrial Workwear and inventor of the HMZ tear-away hemming system. With nearly two decades of experience in mining and manufacturing, Kym saw firsthand how women in industrial and construction environments were forced to wear poorly designed workwear built for men.

Instead of waiting for change, she created it.
