In celebration of Women in Construction Week and International Women's Day, we’re shining a light on the incredible women at Knowles! With women holding pivotal roles across Knowles - from our Board and senior management team to accounts, buying, and on-site positions - we believe in redefining what it means to work in construction. As an industry often associated with hard hats and heavy machinery, women’s contributions have historically been overlooked. However, this is shifting, and it’s essential to highlight the remarkable initiatives and achievements of women within the industry. Increasingly more women are breaking stereotypes and making significant strides in construction. From architects and engineers to project managers and skilled tradespeople, women are carving out their places and leaving a lasting impact on construction projects. Greater representation fosters diversity and brings a wealth of perspectives and experiences that drive the industry forward. At Knowles, we are proud to champion inclusivity, and we recognise the vital contributions of women in shaping our success. To mark Women in Construction Week and International Women’s Day, we asked some of the Knowles team to share their career advice for those looking to join the industry! "Don’t be afraid to take up space in the room. Confidence in your abilities will set you apart. Your career is built one step at a time - be patient, stay focused, and always back yourself. The best advice I’ve been given is: 'Success is not final; failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.'" - Megan Steele-Knowles, Group Brand & Communications Director "Every challenge is an opportunity to grow. Push yourself, ask questions, and never stop learning. Hard work really does pay off. Whether you start with a degree or climb the ladder from the bottom, you can achieve your goals if you stay committed." - Abbi-Leanne Haynes, Senior Buyer "There are vast opportunities in construction for those willing to embrace them. Step forward, be curious, and make your mark. The best way to grow is to surround yourself with people who challenge and inspire you." - Natalie Smith, Senior Document Controller Here's to the women who are laying the foundation for a brighter future! #womeninconstruction #internationalwomensday #IWD2025 #buildingthefuture #KnowlesWomen #womeninbusiness
