National Building & Construction Awards 2022
Wow 🤩 What a night at the National Building & Construction Awards 2022 🏗️ We must say Kelly is certainly looking very “on-brand”, which definitely didn’t go unnoticed!
We always say it, but we are so very proud seeing our name up there for “Sub-Contractor of the Year” & Kelly for “Women in Construction” Awards.
This certainly inspires the team to continue to grow, develop and strive for more. 🚀
Now for a freshen up, quick outfit change, new hair & makeup and tonight we go again 🔁

Remembrance Sunday
Construction News Workforce Awards 2022
We all know construction is core to our business, so to be at the Construction News Workforce Awards with some of the most well known construction companies is business goals for sure! 🤩
For Kelly to be a finalist in the “Inspiring Women into Construction” Award, and for the business to be the only recruiter in the room just highlights the dedication to not only the industry as a whole, but to mental well-being within it, to the future generation and to equality, diversity, and inclusion. 🏗️
Remember, remember the 5th of November..
Kelly is selected as an AccXel Ambassador!
What an honour for Kelly Cartwright to be selected as one of @accxel_constructing_futures ambassadors! 🤩👷🏻♀️
Kelly has admired AccXel’s work from afar, for quite some time and when the opportunity to pitch to be an ambassador arose, she just knew she had to be involved! When Kelly finally met @hathers1988 & @nicola_bird_accxel at @natfedbuilders Top 100 Awards last week, they just clicked and Kelly just knew, that together, they can change the face of construction.
AccXel is the Construction Skills Accelerator Centre is the first co-funded, industry led construction education facility in the UK. Accxel will change the face of construction education through encouraging pupils, school leavers, career changers and career starters into construction, as well as upskilling those already in the industry and I am super excited to support this mission.
We always believe in order to overcome the huge challenges the construction industry faces we need to collaborate, support each other, champion what a fantastic industry we have and make the change.
Now let’s see what this collaboration can do! 💚💛❤️
Things Look a Little Spooky Here at Core HQ…
Kelly is one of Top 100 Most Influential WIC
To be in a room full of strong, influential, inspirational, determined women who are all doing incredible things for our sector is mind blowing 🤯 and to finally meet some of the ladies you see and admire is quite something 🤩
We all know we need more diversity in the sector and evenings like this are so important to help recognise role models who can give the sector a different reputation, and showcase the amazing industry we are in, so they choose construction as a career.
We are super proud of Kelly to not only be named as one of the Top 100 Most Influential Women in Construction but the Winner of the “Ally” Award. 👏🏼
Allies are important for several reasons. One crucial component involves using their influence to support inclusion and change.
As the floor in the hotel entrance hall says, “we do things differently here” and collaboratively we can do so much ✨

Band of Builders launches 24-7 Mental Health Service!
We have always admired the fantastic work that @bandofbuilders_ have done for years, helping tradespeople has always been the sole purpose of theirs, starting with home improvement projects to give back to less able workers, to now holding their annual “big brew” campaign that aims to get trades talking!
At the @designandbuilduk – Women in Construction Awards, Kelly was sat with Gavin Crane for the evening and WOW, what a guy! 🤩
Gavin told her about their next venture due to launch, BoB – which is a 24 hour free construction industry text support line for help and guidance. No appointments, no waiting times, just someone to talk to when you need it most. The service is completely confidential.
Text BOB to 85258.
With our reach within the industry, Kelly knew we could help, she knew we could make a difference and spread the message, so we have put this helpline across thousands of our 2023 merch to spread this important message. 🧡
