• Women In Construction Top 100 Influencers

The NFB has launched its Women in Construction Top 100 Influencers which aims to showcase the most influential women and non-binary role models in the sector and those affecting change.

In construction, only a small proportion of roles are held by women (15%) and even fewer have jobs on the tools. Whilst it’s important to appreciate that the industry has changed a lot and has begun to challenge stereotypes and shift perceptions to become more inclusive, it is also important to recognise that there is a lot more work still to be done.

The Top 100 Influential list is industry wide and part of the National Federation of Builders’ Women in Construction Programme, aimed at showcasing female and non-binary role models at all levels within the industry, from apprentices and rising stars to directors.

The categories include those unsung heroes by region, the influential list, one to watch, allies, advocates and many more.

 “It is therefore fundamental to open these awards to the whole of construction and not just NFB members, this will help showcase the amazing work being undertaken to affect change throughout construction.”

Breaking stereotypes

“We believe this is crucial in breaking down stereotypes and highlighting that diversity is important for people currently in the industry but also for encouraging potential recruits that construction is both a viable and rewarding career,” adds Clarke.
