Gleeds Georgina Coyne wins Apprentice of the Year 🌟🙋♀️ We’re pleased to share that Georgina was recently awarded the Steve Burne Apprentice of the Year Award at Laing O'Rourke Property and Construction Annual Dinner, hosted by Greater Manchester Chamber, UK and Imperial War Museums.  Georgina joined our Infrastructure team just over two years ago under a degree apprenticeship and has since soared professionally and personally.  When commenting on her award, Georgina says “This recognition holds great significance to me; when I started my apprenticeship two and a half years ago I could never have imagined how much I would learn and develop, both professionally and personally. Being nominated for this award is not just a personal achievement but also a recognition for all the incredible women who have paved the way for us in this industry - I am proud to represent the growing number of women who are contributing to the future and thank all those who have supported me along the way.” Kevin Barton, Infrastructure Director and Head of Project and Programme Management spoke of the awards dinner, “It was an absolute pleasure to see Georgina pick up the Apprentice of the Year Award.

Celebrating a third hospital win in Peru! We’re proud to share that the UK Healthcare Alliance - UKHA, a partnership between Gleeds, AECOM and Currie & Brown has been awarded an additional high-complexity hospital in Peru.  The Guillermo Diaz de la Vega Hospital is the only secondary care hospital in the Apurímac region, serving over 480,000 residents, most of whom live in rural areas. This vital resource will provide significantly improved facilities for surrounding communities, which will minimise the need for patients to travel to Lima for specialised care. The appointment follows Gleeds' contribution to two other hospitals in regional hospitals in Piura and Trujillo, through our work with PRONIS (National Health Investment Programme). We’re looking forward to contributing to the delivery of this much-needed project, as well as sharing best practice to ensure the highest standard of healthcare for years to come. https://lnkd.in/diHCPkjS #UKHA #ProjectManagement #PRONIS #Infraestructura #Perú Photo credits: Presidencia Perú

The UK Government has committed to a target of delivering 1.5 million homes during this parliament. While this target is much needed due to a low supply of housing in the UK, the issue is multi-faceted and has several root causes. Viability, argues Head of Development Paul Dennison, is the most significant of these challenges. In our latest insights piece, Paul explores the obstacles facing the market, and what the potential solutions to the issue of viability might be.

How can we create gender balance in the construction industry? This was the central question which Frances Palmer, Associate Director and Dave Corbin, Head of Client Accounts at Gleeds answered, as part of the recent Association for Project Management (APM) podcast. In the podcast, Frances and Dave, along with Anita Phagura, Leadership and Culture Coach, explore the biggest barriers to attracting and developing women in the sector, and highlight the actions that both organisations and individuals can take to accelerate change.  For Frances, creating gender equality is an essential enabler for innovation and she stresses that “Organisations need to make sure that they’re structured in a way that enables personal development and growth – it’s not just about delivering projects, it’s about giving people the environment to be heard, treated fairly and respected”.  Listen to the full podcast ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eJb-H2wp #APM #APMpodcast #genderequality #womeninconstruction
