23 female managers and leaders talk about their journeys, challenges and successes

Claire Spring
General manager at INC Group

Being in the construction industry from a young age, I came across many challenges before getting to where I am today. One of the biggest challenges I faced, is the gender stereotype that comes with working in the sector. Historically, this industry was dominated by men, which naturally led to scepticism and doubt when it came to women’s abilities and skills in the field. Throughout my career, I have never allowed such challenges to get in my way. Instead, I used it as motivation for my personal growth to eventually build an exceptional team in the industry.
