Description

This month, we’re checking in to see how the industry’s doing on race equality.

The stats vary, but most counts show that people of colour are still vastly under-represented in the industry, compared to the overall population mix.

The disparity is even starker in the UK’s many cities.

For a sector struggling to fill vacancies, this seems like a big missed opportunity. For a candid assessment, we asked Dr. Roni Savage to convene a panel.

Roni is black, female, and the founder and CEO of geotechnical engineering company, Jomas Associates.

Joining her are Harvey Francis, Chief People Officer and Executive Vice President at Skanska UK, and TJ Jacobs, technical director for social value at Arcadis.

The conversation is fast-paced and passionate, so hold onto your seats.
