Celebrating Women in Construction at the WIC Awards 2024

Our very own Ruby Cox attended the Women in Construction (WiC) Awards 2024, an inspiring event dedicated to celebrating the achievements and contributions of women in the construction industry.

The event, hosted by Michaela Wain—BBC’s Apprentice winner—was a resounding success. It was packed with inspiring speeches and reflections on the industry while experiencing the incredible energy and that filled the room. 

A Commitment to Progress

A key takeaway from the event was the commitment to supporting women in construction. Ruby and other attendees had the opportunity to connect with industry leaders and key players who are taking significant steps toward gender equality in this historically male-dominated industry.
