Construct and Connect Breakfast - Dublin Edition

First WICI breakfast morning a huge success!

Absolutely incredible morning at the networking event in Dublin on 13th January 2025. It was amazing to see so many like-minded individuals in one room. A huge thank you to Natalie Ryan from The Lighthouse Charity for her insightful discussion on the services available to women in the industry.

When we started Women in Construction in Ireland (WICI), all we knew was that we wanted to help; to help ensure women were heard, and ensure they were being encouraged and supported. One woman at the event in Dublin approached us and thanked us for organising it—she’s the only woman in her company and felt the event was exactly what she needed. She said it made her day easier, and to us, that’s what these networking events are all about.

We may not be able to improve the industry overnight, but we can certainly support one another. Thank you to everyone who attended! Galway and Dundalk are next on the list, let me know if you're interested in coming!

CIOB Awards 2025

By Joanne White • October 21, 2025

Recognition for WICI at the CIOB Ireland Awards. We’re proud to share that WICI’s work was recognised last night at the The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) Ireland Awards, with Joanne White receiving the CIOB Open Recognition Award for her leadership and dedication. This award highlights the importance of raising awareness and providing meaningful support for women in construction, support that can often be the difference between staying in our industry or leaving it. We’re incredibly grateful to the CIOB for this recognition, and even more inspired after connecting with so many passionate individuals last night, both women and men, who are committed to driving positive change. A heartfelt thank you to Quigg Golden for sponsoring the award, and to Minister James Lawless and Ola Obadara for presenting it. Their powerful speeches highlighted just how amazing and vital our construction industry is and why continued progress and inclusion matter more than ever. Let’s keep the momentum going and continue to build an industry where women are supported, celebrated, and empowered."
