Empowering Women in Construction with Griffith Women in Business and Lisa Messenger
At McIntosh Fencing, we believe in supporting not only the communities we serve but also in championing the women who are making waves in the workforce. Recently, we proudly sponsored the Griffith Women in Business function, which featured an inspiring keynote speech by renowned entrepreneur and author Lisa Messenger. This event showcased the importance of empowering women in all industries, including construction, where women are increasingly playing pivotal roles.
Championing Women in the Workforce
Griffith Women in Business is an organisation dedicated to supporting and connecting women in the workforce, regardless of whether they own their own business or are advancing their careers in their chosen field. The group offers networking opportunities, mentorship, and inspiration for women striving to achieve their personal and professional goals.
McIntosh Fencing: An Equal Opportunity Employer
At McIntosh Fencing, we are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We believe in the value of diversity and are committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where all employees, regardless of gender, have the opportunity to thrive. Women bring unique perspectives, skills, and creativity to the construction industry, and we are dedicated to ensuring they have equal access to opportunities, leadership roles, and career growth within our company.
Breaking Barriers in Construction
The construction industry has historically been male-dominated, but that is changing as more women enter the field and prove their skills and expertise. At McIntosh Fencing, we are proud to play a role in this evolution by actively encouraging women to pursue careers in construction. From fieldwork to project management, we provide opportunities for women to excel and break down the traditional barriers that have kept the industry gender-imbalanced.
Lisa Messenger’s Inspiring Message
The Griffith Women in Business event was made even more memorable with a keynote address by Lisa Messenger, a celebrated entrepreneur, author, and founder of Collective Hub. Lisa’s message of resilience, creativity, and boldness resonated deeply with the audience, particularly women navigating their way through traditionally male-dominated industries like construction.
A Commitment to the Future
McIntosh Fencing’s partnership with Griffith Women in Business is just the beginning of our ongoing commitment to supporting women in the workforce. We will continue to provide opportunities for women to excel in construction and other industries, and we look forward to playing an active role in fostering a more inclusive and diverse workforce.
