Building change together
We want construction and engineering to be industries where everyone can see an opportunity to build a rewarding career. With this in mind, we’ve partnered with Design and Build UK for the past three years, to support its work to improve opportunities for women across the industry.
Led by Michaela Wain, Design and Build UK works to inspire girls to consider careers in construction while also supporting and retaining women already working in the industry, from grassroots through to board level.
For us, the partnership is about creating opportunities, nurturing talent and helping to build a more inclusive industry. It’s also about encouraging male allyship and recognising that creating lasting change is something we all have a role in.
Our partnership with Design and Build UK is about creating meaningful change. We want more women to see the opportunities our industry can offer, but equally, we want women already working in construction to have the support and opportunity to develop and thrive. Male allyship is an important part of that. Lasting change only happens when we all play our part.”
