This week we have been celebrating Women in Construction Week.

Its aim is to honour the achievements of women in the construction industry, highlighting their contributions, and inspiring future generations. It promotes diversity, inclusion, and the empowerment of women in a traditionally male-dominated field.

The 2025 theme 'Together We Rise' embodies the collaborative spirit driving positive change in the industry. This year’s celebration focuses on shared vision, with construction firms across the UK implementing innovative programmes to support their female employees.

Recent statistics show that women make up 15% of the UK construction workforce, a figure that has nearly doubled in the last 15 years. Industry experts predict by 2030, 25% of the UK workforce will comprise of women. This growth is supported by evolving industry practices and a change in attitudes.
 
This week we’re celebrating the incredible women who keep the industry moving—on-site, in the office, and everywhere in between! From managing projects and analysing data to leading teams and shaping the future, the women at O’Neill & Brennan UK are making an impact. 

On Monday 3rd, we kicked off the celebrations in our London office, where we had some bespoke cupcakes delivered by Rachael's Kitchen - safe to say, they didn’t last long! 

Here’s to all the strong, talented, and trailblazing women in construction—we see you, we celebrate you, and we rise together!
