Winner: Rebecca Lovelace - Building People
Rebecca Lovelace describes herself as ‘founder and chief dot-joiner’ at Building People. It is a platform she created in 2017 to link people from under-represented groups to career opportunities in construction.
The idea is that people from diverse backgrounds have better access to jobs, knowledge and support. As a result, the industry has a chance to be more representative of the communities it serves.
Rebecca has worked tirelessly to develop Building People. From 2021 it really gained traction, with nearly 400 organisations registered and a ‘communities network’ of 50 organisations that benefit from the amplifying opportunities that Building People provides. Organisations such as Building Heroes, which represents ex-military people, DiverseCity Surveyors, which works with BAME people and The Rebuild Project, representing women, have a louder voice through Building People.
