Empowering Women in Construction
This week celebrates the launch of our Empowering Women in Construction podcast! In our first episode, we spoke to Kim Oakhill of Sigma Embroidery, who has been integral in the creation of the podcast!
We’re so excited to share more stories with you as the weeks go on, and hope you’ll take the time to listen in! We can be found on Spotify here or on YouTube here!

New Office
According to the CIPD, hybrid work brings about “a better work–life balance, greater ability to focus with fewer distractions, more time for family and friends, saved commuting time and costs, IT upskilling and higher levels of motivation.”
On this note, we’ve recently found a new office space! We can’t wait to work on many fantastic projects here in the future.
