Address the real issues
I think the Inspire Summit is quite important for the industry because it provokes that thought process about the change that we need to make in this industry and why - and the barriers that people are facing so that we can start breaking those down to actually address the real issues.

inspire people around diversity and inclusion
Some of my main take-aways from the summit today have been that there’s a great deal of great work that’s going on to inspire people around diversity and inclusion within the built environment, but also there’s a lot more to be done in how we engage young people and ensure that the construction industry is made attractive, as best as possible for people from all walks of life.

We need more diversity and inclusion within this sector and when we understand how other people are doing it and doing it well, then we are able to see how we can navigate that terrain as well. And this summit enables us to hear those voices and be empowered and enabled to do better. Sharon Amesu
