Celebrating Arrowe Brook Park’s all-female site team! 🙌
Coinciding with the launch of The Home Builders Federation and Women into Construction CIC partnership, which aims to address the gender imbalance in the construction workforce nationally, at Bellway we are celebrating our all-female site team at Arrowe Brook Park in Upton, Wirral.
👷♀️ Jessica, 36, is site manager responsible for the overall smooth running of the development, including health and safety on site. From Bootle, she started her career at Bellway as a joiner, joining the company as an apprentice, and has progressed quickly, achieving a prestigious Pride in the Job award. Jessica comments: “Bellway was one of the first housebuilders in Liverpool to offer apprenticeships and when I looked into the options, it seemed they spent a lot of time, effort and money in developing individuals within the company, which really appealed to me.”
Supporting Jessica is Beth, assistant manager, responsible for booking trades, managing the customer journey and ensuring each property meets National House Building Council (NHBC) standards. Beth says: “Working in construction has always appealed to me and joining Bellway has been a great learning curve.”
The youngest of the trio is Liverpool-born Amelia (22), trainee assistant site manager, adds: “I wanted to work in an environment where I am always learning and this role does exactly that – every day is different!”
Ian Hopkins, Construction Director at Bellway, concludes: “As a company we have always championed females in construction and are delighted to be part of the national programme to attract more women into the sector and challenge the current 16% representation in the industry.”
