Championing Skills, Inclusion, and Innovation in Construction

With decades of experience supporting the construction industry, I’m passionate about creating a skilled, competent, and inclusive workforce that meets the challenges of today—and tomorrow.  

The construction sector is evolving rapidly. From attracting the right talent to developing future-ready skills systems, I work to empower individuals and businesses to thrive in this dynamic landscape.  

At CITB, our mission is simple:  
- Attracting talent: Inspiring the next generation to join and succeed in construction.  
- Developing skills: Building a training and development system aligned with the industry’s needs.  
- Driving inclusion: Ensuring the workforce is diverse, equitable, and inclusive.  
- Supporting growth: Providing robust resources for workforce training and development.  

How I can support you:
Whether you’re an employer, training provider, or industry advocate, I’m here to connect, collaborate, and create opportunities that drive meaningful change. I specialise in:  
- Partnering with businesses to address skills gaps.  
- Promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion across the workforce.  
- Leading initiatives like the Top 100 Women in Construction Awards to spotlight talent and drive positive change as well as the Neurodiversity research in the industry.

What I bring to the table
Community building: I’ve led initiatives that bring people together, from grassroots efforts to national campaigns, ensuring that every voice is heard and valued.
Neurodiversity advocacy: Through training and education programs, I help organisations better understand and support neurodivergent individuals, creating workplaces that are not just accommodating but empowering.
Leadership and results: As a leader in engagement, I’ve guided teams to deliver tangible outcomes, from fostering employer networks to supporting workforce development projects.
Mental health advocacy: As a trustee with Mates in Mind, I’m committed to improving mental health awareness and support across the construction sector.

I’m always excited to hear from people who share my commitment to innovation, inclusion, and growth in the construction industry.

As the CEO of Band of Builders, I lead a charity that supports the U.K. construction industry by providing practical assistance, advice, and support to those in need. I am passionate and purpose-driven about making a positive impact on the lives of our beneficiaries and volunteers.

I have been involved with Band of Builders since 2017, when I was chosen as a project lead. I became a trustee in 2018 and took on the CEO role in 2022. My responsibilities include developing our corporate and commercial partnerships, overseeing our marketing strategy, and negotiating contracts with suppliers and donors. I have helped the charity grow its reach, reputation, and revenue, thanks to the collaboration and support of our amazing team and partners.
