A LEADING developer is encouraging more females to consider a career in the construction industry. Ahead of International Women s Day on Monday (March 8), David Wilson Homes says it has a variety of roles available across Cheshire. Although the number of female construction workers has increased steadily over the past 12 years, the proportion of women in the industry is still significantly lower. This is something the housebuilder is keen to change, particularly as research figures from the union for construction workers, GMB, shows that if the rate of female employees continues to rise at the rate it is now, women won t equal men until 2194.
