Panelists from our London summit share their resources.
On 16 May 2019, we hosted London's second Women in Construction Summit. With 60+ speakers and 700+ attendees, barriers were broken, opinions were challenged and solutions were proposed. One of the day's leading panels, The Future is Intersectional, widened our understanding of how each diversity strand intersects, combine and react with each other.
The panelists pioneering the session were Jean Hewitt, Senior Inclusive Design Consultant at BuroHappold Engineering, Anjali Pindoria, Project Surveyor at Avi Contracts, Sarah Crawford, Founder & Director at Chalkstring, and Jo Field, Founder & Managing Director at JFG Communications. Here, the industry leaders share the resources that helped build the discussion.
