Dundalk Networking August 2025

“On Thursday 21st August we were delighted to host a networking event in Dundalk, bringing together female professionals from across the industry and from both sides of the border. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the event such a success.

Creating spaces like this is so important. Research shows that women working in male- dominated industries can often feel isolated, and opportunities to connect outside of the workplace play a key role in building support networks, sharing experiences, and fostering collaboration.


We hope that every woman in attendance left with at least one new professional connection, whether a peer or a potential collaborator, relationships that will support their work and help them thrive going forward.


That is the power of networking: not just exchanging details, but building meaningful connections that strengthen both individuals and the wider community.


Thank you to our Board Member Sonya Meekel for chatting with the women and sharing her experiences in different areas of the industry! We look forward to hosting more events like this in the future and continuing to create opportunities for people to connect, collaborate, and grow together.”

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."
