Who are South West Women in Construction?
We are an organisation of women with one thing in common: construction.
SWWIC provides women in the south west from any discipline, trade, sector or organisation involved in construction with the opportunity to meet, network and share experiences.
What are we involved in?
As a member of SWWIC there are opportunities to become involved in a wide range of activities. The group holds regular breakfast meetings/briefings enabling you to meet a varied cross-section of people.
Formal events are also organised on topical issues affecting the industry. Of key importance to the majority of our members is our work to raise the awareness of careers in construction and opportunities available to women in this area.
Guest Speakers and Presentations
Keeping up to date with both industry innovations and regional issues is important to everyone. This is useful to both SWWIC and its members.
A programme of events is organised throughout the year bringing a range of diverse and interesting topics to members.
Breakfast Meetings
Regular meetings are also organised to ensure and encourage our members involvement. These meetings are run on an informal basis over breakfast and are designed to give members an opportunity to have their say. They provide a forum for new ideas and initiatives to be discussed and considered as well as being available for any member who has a particular issue they wish to raise.
Social Events
Becoming a member of SWWIC undoubtedly holds business benefits for its members.
There is also a social side to the organisation and for this reason every year SWWIC arranges a number of events. Some of these events combine business with pleasure. For the past two years for instance SWWIC has hosted a "Ladies with Influence" lunch with guest speakers namely Juliet Williams, Chair of SWRDA and Carleen Kellerman, Director Objective One Partnership for Cornwall & Isles of Scilly.
