Now in its sixth year, the Rising Star Awards focus on the UK’s female talent pipeline below senior management level.

Lucy Maddin-Uden, Group Strategic Project Manager at Keltbray said: “I’m really proud to be a 2020 Rising Star Award winner.

“I want to use this achievement to support the great work we are doing at the Keltbray Female Leadership Initiative. I will always lend my support and voice to those who haven’t yet found theirs, and seek to challenge the status quo in every aspect of my working life. Watch this space, it’s just the beginning.”

The awards celebrate 100 individual female contributors that represent the leaders and role models of tomorrow. Since 2015, WeAreTheCity’s Rising Star Awards have highlighted the achievements of over 550 future leaders and role models across a variety of different sectors.

This year’s shortlist showcased extraordinary women within the UK from across 20 categories. Within the Property, Construction and Facilities Management category, Lucy was recognised for championing, supporting and shining a light on the challenges faced by women in the workplace and the industry.

At Keltbray, Lucy’s role is to deliver and implement strategy for group-wide projects, ensuring joined-up thinking and a tactical approach to major opportunities.

Lucy is also the founder of the Keltbray Female Leadership Initiative. On the importance of getting more women into the industry, Lucy said: “I am a passionate advocate of equality and my objective is to support, sponsor and encourage Keltbray’s future female leaders, with a view to tackling the ‘gender imbalance’ within our industry.”

Lucy has been integral in shining a light on the challenging biases faced by women in the construction industry, with a view to rallying senior leadership within Keltbray and inspiring change.
