Leeds College of Building Hosts Sold-Out UKREiiF Property Fringe Events
Rezul News/10704045
The South Bank Campus of Leeds College of Building recently hosted two sold-out fringe events as part of the UK's Real Estate Investment and Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF).
LEEDS, U.K. - Rezul -- UKREiiF is the UK's leading event within the real estate, property and infrastructure sectors, and saw over 16,000 industry professionals descend on the New Dock area of Leeds.
A short walk from the main hub of UKREiiF, the College's South Bank campus was chosen to host two specialist sessions aimed at overcoming barriers to succeed in the construction industry.
A networking breakfast kicked off the first session, hosted by the Yorkshire branch of the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC).
Event lead and Early Careers Coordinator at Stantec, Eve Ryan-Smith, said she saw the main aim of NAWIC as creating a "supportive network for women in the construction and built environment industry."

Shortly after, a workshop by the Accession network focused on supporting people of colour in construction, unconscious bias in the industry, and inclusive architecture. Following a talk on inclusive outcomes in design and development by Gensler Architect Tegan Ramsey, attendees worked in groups to explore best practice around accessibility within construction planning.
Lack of diversity within the industry was another key topic discussed during the session, with event organisers highlighting a statistic from the Construction Industry Council that just 5.4% of construction workers in the UK are from a Black, Asian or ethnic minority background.
Accession network workshop organiser and founder of architecture and planning company +TwoThreeThree, Kwamena Beecham, said he saw "a lack of representation" as the main barrier affecting people of colour trying to break into the industry.
On the same day, Leeds College of Building CEO & Principal Nikki Davis, along with Property Maintenance Apprentice Elyssa Marshall, participated in an expert panel discussion at UKREiiF. Alongside representatives from Leeds City Council, Leeds Trinity University, and Caddick Construction, Nikki and Elyssa gave their thoughts about attracting and retaining more talent in the construction sector.
