Danny Clarke, Commercial Director for the National Federation of Builders comments: ”We launched the Top 100 Most Influential Women in Construction Awards this year in order to celebrate the amazing women and their allies that are doing wonderful things throughout the Industry. Whilst its undeniable that we need to bring more females into the industry we also need to recognise the amazing people we have already working within it.

Unlike many influential lists that focus purely on senior individuals, the NFB’s Top 100 Women in Construction is fully inclusive and crucially showcases all the role models in our industry from Trainees and Apprentices right the way through to the boardroom”.

Following on from the Top 100 Most Influential Women in Construction Awards the NFB hosted a launch event for the programme of personal development and support which has been developed with the NFBs Women in Construction network to secure the legacy of the Top 100 influential women’s list.
