31: Bold As Brass

Breaking Ground

Tarmac geotechnical manager Katherine Evans has set up Bold as Brass, a new network for women in construction, quarrying and mining on LinkedIn.
It was created so that women could have a place to network and support each other. In addition, there is a group for allies, as all genders are responsible for culture change within the industry.

“I wanted to give women a place they felt safe to discuss issues and network without toxicity; everything else has been a by-product of our members’ ideas,” Evans says.

In this episode, she is joined by friend of the podcast and Gavin & Doherty Geosolutions senior geotechnical design engineer Fiona Connor to discuss some of the issues facing women in the construction industry.
