Bridging the Gender Gap in UK Trades 🌟 While female representation in the UK construction industry has reached a record high of 15.8%, the gender gap in skilled trade roles remains a challenge. Recent research reveals a staggering shortfall of nearly 100,000 women across the top ten construction trades. For instance, among the expected 33,022 female electricians, only 3,574 are currently working in the field—leaving a gap of 29,448! We spoke with Sonia R, owner of Southern Oak Ltd, about the importance of paving the way for women in construction and the steps we can take to encourage more women to enter these vital roles. Let’s work together to bridge this gap! 💪✨ #WomenInConstruction #GenderEquality #ConstructionTrades #DesignAndBuildUK #EmpowerWomen
