Celebrating International Women’s Day – We’re proud to spotlight Marie MOLENAT, one of our brilliant Project Managers, who spoke to BE News about her career and the importance of diversity:   🌍 Why IWD matters to her: "I believe in equality for all and that everyone should be able to pursue a career regardless of gender. International Women’s Day is a great opportunity to promote this idea."   💪 Marie’s proudest moment: Reaching the position of those who inspired her and passing on her knowledge to younger generations.   🛠 Industry misconceptions: "Construction is not just about building brick walls. There’s so much more – from client interactions to managing health and safety and pushing for sustainability."   At Legendre UK, we are committed to promoting gender diversity in the construction industry. This is just one example of how women like Marie are breaking barriers and leading the way toward a more inclusive future.   Find out more about Marie’s journey: https://lnkd.in/eSk9p5_J   #IWD2025 #WomenInConstruction

Across Europe, 250 ports and 150 km of breakwaters are exposed daily to waves—an immense but untapped source of renewable energy. What if these maritime structures could do more than protect our coastlines? Legendre Group, partnering with GEPS Techno, is committed to turning this challenge into an opportunity with Dikwe - a technology designed to capture and convert wave energy into electricity. Dikwe enables port authorities to integrate low-carbon electricity generation into the refurbishment of existing infrastructure or the construction of new breakwaters, which have traditionally been built solely for coastal and port protection. By rethinking maritime infrastructure, the Group aims to help build more resilient and sustainable ports for the future. #Dikwe #SustainablePorts #WaveEnergy #LowCarbonSolutions #Innovation
