The Considerate Constructors Scheme<\/a> has won the \u2018Women in Construction\u2019 Award, at the London Construction Awards, for its national \u2018Spotlight on\u2026women in construction\u2019 campaign<\/h2>\n

The Women in Construction award recognises the Scheme\u2019s exceptional efforts to boost the much-needed industry effort to attract more women into the construction<\/a> industry.<\/p>\n

The spotlight on\u2026women in construction campaign was produced to address the concerning findings from a national survey, which revealed that women represent just 11% of the entire industry workforce and only 1% of the total workforce on site.<\/p>\n

The Scheme received the award at the prestigious London Construction Awards ceremony held on 23 October at the Royal Garden Hotel, London.<\/p>\n

Spotlight on\u2026women in construction is hosted on the Scheme\u2019s Best Practice Hub<\/a> \u2013 the industry\u2019s free-to-use online platform. The campaign provides practical information, resources and real-life case studies of women working across the industry.<\/p>\n

So far, the campaign has been viewed over 11,000 times and its more recent e-learning course<\/a> has been taken by over 2,000 people.<\/p>\n

Considerate Constructors Scheme<\/a> Chief Executive Edward Hardy, said: \u201cThe Scheme is thrilled to receive the \u2018Women in Construction\u2019 Award. It is only through the hard work, determination and enthusiasm of our team, and the many contributors to the campaign that has made this achievement happen. My congratulations to everyone involved in producing such an influential campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Scheme was shortlisted among some extremely impressive finalists, so to be chosen as outright winner by a panel of highly respected industry leaders is a huge honour.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Best Practice Hub is at the very core of helping to spread practical guidance, resources and case studies for all and I would encourage everyone to use our Hub\u2019s vast free resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis achievement reinforces how important it is to work together as one industry to make long lasting change to improve standards in considerate construction right across our industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
