Milton Keynes-based NHBC is proud to be the headline sponsor for the Women Leaders UK Awards 2024.
The Women Leaders UK Awards is an annual event that recognises the achievements of remarkable women living or working within Milton Keynes – particularly in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers.
Yvonne Patsanza, Senior Building Inspector at NHBC and 2023 Women Leaders UK Awards finalist, said, “The Women Leaders UK Awards event was brilliant. It was wonderful to be in a room full of people with a common purpose – celebrating our achievements. I hope that other women, especially from the younger generation, will see me as a visual representation that we can thrive in an industry that has only just begun to see the value of diversity in the workforce. My passion is to mentor the next generation of women in construction, to show that mine is only one of a multitude of roles in the industry where we can find work satisfaction and thrive.”
