On 9th October, Gaggenau hosted a highly successful women’s networking evening alongside Athena Stonecare where attendance far exceeded expectations. The event provided a fantastic opportunity for women from construction and design industry to come together, share experiences and build connections. It was inspiring to see attendees build new connections and catch up with existing contacts creating a mix of opportunities and enhanced networking. A highlight of the event was series of speeches given by: - Rachel Sargeant, Head of Projects, Gaggenau - Sharon Wallis, Managing Director, Poggenpohl - Beverley Walker, Head of Sales and Operations, Houseworks London - Becca Cranfield Director, Athena Stonecare
Each one of them shared their personal stories on how they managed to thrive in male dominated industries and offered powerful insight on leadership and overcoming unique challenges women face in their respective fields. Their insights on leadership and navigating challenges were both empowering and motivational.
“My initial plan was to organise event dedicated to honouring and promoting Women in Construction and Design Industry. The goal was to create a platform where women in these fields could connect, establish valuable connections and network. This idea stemmed from the fact that women currently only represent 14% of the construction industry. Reflecting on my own past as a female apprentice in a time when it was rare to see women on construction sites, I realised that there is a lack of substantial support for women in this industry.” - Rachel Sargeant
Rachel and Becca from Athena Stonecare (an expert in networking) together with the Gaggenau team planned an evening event in hope of generating some interest. The response was overwhelming with the event reaching full capacity just days after invitations were sent.
