CUTV News Radio spotlights Catherine James of Dixie Cullen Interest

Houston, TX -  Successful female entrepreneurs encounter many hurdles and obstacles. For some woman the challenge can be even more daunting when they own a business in a male dominated industry.

Catherine James is the founder and CEO of Dixie Cullen Interest, an industrial storage facility for machinery, steel and heavy industrial projects. Catherine started her family-run business over 20 years ago, experiencing massive growth with four locations and 27 employees.

“Our customers utilize our services for many reasons,” says Catherine. “Maybe they are dealers selling used or new machinery or there’s a plant being built, in which case the equipment has to be staged in an area as it comes in from the ship or from the manufacturers until they are ready for it to arrive at the plant. Some of our other customers have a home office elsewhere and distribute their material and equipment out of our warehouse facility.:

Catherine’s father owned a plant relocation business. Recognizing this need inspired her to launch her storage business. Being in a male dominated industry, although challenging and tough, actually strengthened her resolve and encouraged her determination to surpass her competitors.

“My advice to career-driven women who desire to own their own business is to seek out a mentor,” says Catherine.  “When I first started, I resisted asking for help, fearing it would make me appear inferior. But being mentored actually made my business run so much more efficiently. I’m now a proud mentor to other hopeful entrepreneurs to guide them on their journey to success.”
