  1. Hi. I’m a female site manager running a large commercial EWI contract in Bristol. I’ve been in the trade for 16 years and have usually found my gender to be an asset (once people get over the novelty). Perhaps the low number of female entrants to CM of the Year was due to lack of awareness of the competition?

  2. Hi

    I am a construction director and have been in the industry for the last 28 years. I started out as a setting out engineer and worked through the ranks until 3 of us set up our contracting & development company 18 years ago.
    The industry is no different to any other – as a female you need to work hard and prove yourself – there are always inequalities – not only am I a female – but British Asian as well – but i do not see these being an issue – my knowledge and experience far outweigh any is these!

    Likewise – I was not aware of these awards – although they do not necessary apply to me anymore!
