More diversity. More equality.
While the house building industry is not known for being the most diverse or gender equal, we’re working hard to change perceptions.
We are delighted to be a platinum member of Women into Construction. This means we are committed to helping to reduce skills gaps and create a more diverse workforce. Working with the charity we can provide support to women wishing to work in the construction industry and offer practical, hands-on work placements and tailored programmes.
