“The biggest obstacle I’ve had to overcome is being a woman in a man’s world.” 👷🏻♀️
We all know I don’t fit the pretty little pink fluffy box, of what a woman “should” be doing. Society loves to tell you what you should do, or what stereotype box you should fit.. but trying to fit in, will make you miserable. It will kill your potential.
Be YOU and break those stereotypes!
If you don’t fit the box, who gives a hoot. There’s only one place that box belongs!! 👊🏼
Together, let’s change perception that the idea of “gender roles” is absolute nonsense! Never tell anyone that she should or should not do something because she is female!

Kelly recently sat down with Tom Durrell and Remi Coghiel from Durrell & Wolf Business and Property Podcast to discuss how she has grown a business to have 6 employees and hundreds of agency staff on the books at any given time. Not only that, Kelly has built a great brand locally, and I call her somewhat LinkedIn famous as everyone seems to know her, which goes a long way in business. Kelly started her company at just 23, and in this episodes we talk about the struggles and challenges she faced along the way, including being female in such a male dominated industry.

Great evening at the Norwich Forum for the Construction Industry | Norfolk Property Dinner 2022.
So lovely to see so many people from the property sector back together after such a long time!
ITV Anglia | 6pm | 7th October 2021 👷🏻♀️
A construction boss from Norfolk is hoping to inspire women more to work in the industry.
Kelly Cartwright has been working in the sector since she was 17 and is now the boss of a construction recruitment agency Core Recruiter based in Norwich.
Kelly is predominantly based in the office, but recently spent a week at a construction site near Bury St Edmunds hoping to challenge gender stereotypes and encourage more women to follow in her footsteps. “A lot of females are typically associated with female industries, so when you are in man’s world they think does ‘this women know anything about our industry’ and that is why I am doing this. Just because I am female, doesn’t mean you can’t come out on site and get your hands dirty.” Kelly is also donating an average week’s wage to two mental health charities Norfolk & Waveeny Mind to help raise awareness.
“Mental health within our industry is quite big, especially around young men who don’t speak about their feelings”, Kelly said.”I wanted to raise awareness of both causes. It is probably not the most attractive of industries to come in to, but nonetheless it is one of the best.”
13% of the construction industry are women and Kelly wants to inspire others to increase this in the forthcoming years.
“Share your magic with the world, you never know what impact it will have.” ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

After one of the toughest years we have all faced, it was an absolute honour hosting our annual Golf Day.
For most of our guests, this was first corporate social event in over a year, the buzz around the course was such a joy to see, even the weather didn’t dampen their spirits.
Days like these are so impactful, now more than ever. It makes you really appreciate what wonderful clients within a fantastic industry and being able to give back and say thank you. 🧡
Huge thank you to all the team at @bawburghgolfclub, @christophescrepes for the delicious Crepes which definitely were a well needed sugar rush, @logowearltd for all the branded facemasks & @gdscore for keeping us live with the scores throughout day.
Already looking forward to hosting next years event, fingers crossed the weather is better though! 🤞🏼
A huge congratulations to Kelly who has dedicated a whole decade of her life to the construction recruitment industry! 👏🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s a little throw back to 2010, when Kelly thought wide leg suit trousers, a high vis which could be mistaken for a dress and riggers were super trendy! At least you have acquired some fashion sense in the last 🔟 years!
We thank you for everything you have done for the industry, the thousands of candidates you have found work for over the years, the business and us as a team. Not to mention, for being a role model to aspire more young women to become business owners, and all your support to encourage more women to get into construction! 🧡⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
