NAWIC LONDON AND SOUTH EAST
Image by Morley von Sternberg, Part of “The Image of Women in Construction”
London and the South East is the largest of all the NAWIC UK & Ireland regions.
With 80% of the overall membership, we are committed to transforming the industry on to one which reflects the diversity of our society, shifting the agenda from gender to ability and putting an end to stereotypes.
As well as organising a range of networking, training and personal development events where our members have the opportunity to meet each other and grow their network, we also collaborate with a variety of diversity-driven organisations by partnering on events, sharing best practice and opportunities.
Those include Women into Construction, The Young Women Trust, RIBA, AFC, Fluid Mentoring, Built by Us, Women on the Tools, Built by Both and Women in Architecture among others. And support events such as London Build, WICE Awards, FT and WIC Summit
OUR TEAM
The team behind the ever ambitious programme of activities within our region is formed of volunteers who share the vision of the NAWIC founders
and want to create a more diverse industry by highlighting the work of their peers, supporting their development and raising an interest among younger audiences.

THE IMAGE OF WOMEN IN CONSTRUCTION
In an industry often seen as male-dominated, photographer Morley von Sternberg and NAWIC London & South East joined forces to shatter these outdated notions with a powerful initiative: The Image of Women in Construction.
This project shines a spotlight on the diverse and dynamic landscape of women working in the built environment, showcasing the breadth of roles they fulfil across the industry. Through captivating photographs, the campaign celebrates these women on their own terms, capturing their strength, dedication, and individual stories.
