Joanne White

Founder

Joanne White is the founder of Women in Construction Ireland. Joanne’s interest in the construction industry started at an early age, with her father being a Quantity Surveyor. Joanne found that throughout her education in construction and into the industry, there was a lack of support available to her being, usually, the only woman in the room. Fast forward to 2020, and Joanne has a daughter. Joanne now wonders, if her daughter were to enter the industry, would she be treated the same? Would there be any of the missing support provided to her, 30 years later? In short, not much has changed. Therefore, WICI has been established to provide women in the industry with the support, knowledge and training they may require in order to make the industry.
