A BERKSHIRE property developer is calling for more women to get involved in construction work.
Following Monday’s International Women’s Day, David Wilson Homes is reminding women they can apply for a variety of different roles.
Over the past 12 years, there has been a slow rise in female construction workers but the ratio of women to men in the industry is lower than the developer is aiming for.
Reanna Lupton, started at the company on the ASPIRE Graduate Programme, said: “I believe that women are capable of having a very successful career in the construction industry.
“I initially wanted to be a teacher, however I wanted to work for a large company with excellent opportunities for progressions. I saw what David Wilson Homes were offering and I haven’t looked back since.”
Paul Crispin, managing Director at David Wilson Homes Southern, said: “We want to quash the age-old stereotype that the construction industry is a male dominated field as we have many women who work out on site as well as in office based roles.
“With a range of departments within the company, we want to remind women that there are a variety of different roles that can be offered within the business that have great benefits and excellent opportunities for career progression.”
