Taylor Wimpey West Scotland marked this year’s International Women’s Day by bringing some of its young female talent together to share their own personal experiences of working within the housebuilding industry in recognition of this year’s campaign theme, #embraceequity.

International Women’s Day (IWD) is marked annually on March 8. It is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women’s equality.

David Blair for Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, commented: “Our young female talent are in themselves a representation of the progress that we have made in making our industry a more attractive place to thrive for everyone regardless of their gender.



“We will always strive to do more but bringing Kara, Charley and Jodie together to discuss their careers and how they are enjoying working in the housebuilding industry was a great opportunity for us to play our part in this year’s International Women’s Day, while recognising the progress that we are making as a company in terms of female representation across all the areas of our business.

“Their lived experience as young female employees working within what is perceived to be a male-dominated environment is inspirational and engaging as they are supported to achieve their personal potential. “
