Celebrating Women in Construction Week at Cardo
This week, Cardo proudly celebrates Women in Construction Week, honouring the incredible women who make our company a vibrant and innovative place to work. From skilled trade operatives and diligent Health & Safety team members to dedicated support staff, we celebrate our apprentices, who bring fresh perspectives and enthusiasm to the industry and inspiring leaders, women at Cardo are breaking barriers and driving success every day.
At Cardo, we believe in fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. We are committed to supporting gender equality and empowering women to reach their full potential. This year’s theme, “Together We Rise,” celebrates the achievements of women in construction and recognises the vital contributions they make to our business, industry, and beyond.
Jane Nelson, COO, said: “Having started my own career on the tools, I know first-hand the challenges women can face in construction — but I also know the opportunities there for those who can take them. Sometimes that means reaching out for support and I am grateful and indebted to the many, many people who have helped me over the years. Women bring fresh perspectives, innovation, and resilience to our sector and it’s vital we continue to champion their talent at every level through initiatives like Women in Construction Week.”
Cardo is dedicated to empowering women in construction through various initiatives, including mentorship programs, specialised training and development, inclusive hiring practices, and support for work-life balance. These initiatives reflect Cardo’s commitment to fostering an inclusive environment where women can thrive and reach their full potential. By championing diversity, equity, and inclusion, Cardo aims to create a more dynamic and innovative construction industry.
