ABOUT THE HOST
My name is Joanne White and I am the founder of Women in Construction Ireland. My interest in the construction industry started at an early age, with my father being a Quantity Surveyor. I found that throughout my education in construction and into the industry, there was a lack of support available to me being, usually, the only woman in the room. Fast forward to 2020, and I have a daughter. Im now wondering, if my daughter were to enter the industry, would she be treated the same? Would there be any of the missing support provided to her, 30 years later? In short, not much has changed. Therefore, WICI has been established to provide women in the industry, through the construction companies, with the support, knowledge and training they may require.
