This week, Andy was joined by sparkie, Karen Boom to talk about the current position of women within the construction industry. Have things moved on in recent years and how do you encourage young women to consider taking up a trade. The comments were flooded with experiences good and bad this week, with lots to take away and champion. We'd love to know your thoughts.
