Director of Practice Helen Taylor and Architect Albena Atanassova have made the ‘Class of 2019’ UK Construction Week (UKCW) Role Models.

The shortlist is made up of 98 figures from across the world of construction including architects, engineers, construction project managers, site managers, quantity surveyors, a wide range of sustainability, health and safety and geotechnical experts, tradespeople and professionals focused on digital construction, administration, finance, HR, learning and communications.

Following its successful inaugural year in 2018, this year the UKCW Role Models has received quadruple the number of nominations.

The Role Models initiative has uncovered the breadth and depth of talent in the construction industry, paving the way for a huge celebration of all things construction this October at the NEC Birmingham between 8-10 October.

All Role Models will be given the opportunity to speak at UKCW on the main stage and will take part in the student initiative. The 2019 Role Model of the Year will then be announced on Wednesday 9 October with BBC’s Steph McGovern.
