Sport: Professional Rugby Union Player

Role: Brand & Partnerships Executive, British Gas

Shaunagh is no stranger to British Gas, having previously completed her Apprenticeship with us, just over 14 years ago!

She worked as a Gas Engineer, before moving on to pursue a role as a Commercial Diver and then a Firefighter with the Kent Fire and Rescue Service.

Shaunagh has always balanced her professional life with her sporting success.

In 2014, she represented England in the hammer throw event at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Shortly after this, she began playing rugby – and made her international debut just two years later.

Playing for England and Harlequins, Shaunagh became one of the first women to be awarded a full-time professional contract.
