Women Leaders Awards
Championing diversity, empowering women
As headline sponsor of the 2025 Women Leaders Awards, NHBC reinforces its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion across construction, insurance, and the wider business community. Neha Sutton, Co-Chair of NHBC’s Women’s Network, shares why NHBC supports this initia- tive and how it’s challenging stereotypes and championing women in leadership.
Can you tell us why NHBC decided to become the headline sponsor of the Women Leaders Awards again this year? We’re proud to support the Women Leaders Awards again. T is partnership refl ects our dedication to championing female leadership and diversity. It’s a chance to celebrate remarkable women in Milton Keynes and beyond and inspire future generations to aim high.
The theme of this year’s awards is ‘Smashing Stereotypes.’ How does this theme resonate with NHBC’s mission and values?
T e theme is perfectly aligned with our goals. Construction and insurance have traditionally been male dominated, but NHBC is working to change that. We support initia- tives that promote women’s participation through training, development and leadership opportunities. Our Women’s Network has hosted events like bricklaying and shed build- ing to challenge stereotypes and spark interest. Sharing these moments publicly helps reshape perceptions. Ultimately, we’re showing that talent has no gender – and women belong in every corner of the industry.
What impact do you hope your sponsorship will have on encouraging more women to consider leadership roles, both in and beyond construction? We hope our sponsorship sends a clear message: leader- ship is for everyone, and women belong at every level of every industry. Construction and insurance may look very diff erent on the surface, but both have historically lacked gender balance at senior levels. Our involvement in the Women Leaders Awards is about giving visibility to women already leading the way and encouraging others to see themselves in those positions. When we highlight these stories, we help build a new narrative – one where leadership is accessible to all.
