About the Women in Construction Awards:
The awards will recognise those women who are pioneers in innovation within the built environment as well as identify those ‘new starters’ – under 30 years – who have put themselves out there and have been identified as ‘ones to watch’ as they get a foothold within their sector.
The awards also provide an opportunity to acknowledge organisations who have stepped up and developed women’s roles through innovative training programmes as well as showing their commitment to developing the careers of women in the industry. This year’s awards celebration will be attended by senior-level executives, key decision-makers and suppliers, stakeholders and press active in construction/infrastructure.
