Working Week – Aisling Doyle
We have asked some of the many women working in motoring to share their Working Week with us. This week we catch up with Aisling Doyle, Vehicle Acquisition Supervisor for Enterprise Rent-a-Car. Monday I’m up at 6:00. I shower, get dressed and do my hair. I have time for a quick bowl of porridge and a pint of water. I’m on the road before 7:00.
