About Us

"Fostering genuine connections and friendship in the Built Environment"

Our Story

It all started with a Teams Chat.

In July 2022, eight women were brought together through a virtual networking event, seeking connection and support in the built environment industry. 

 

From our humble beginnings, ACED has grown into a thriving community where women find camaraderie, mentorship, and the resources needed to thrive in their careers. We want all women to succeed in their professional and personal goals, no matter what they may be!

A support network for women by women.

Our Purpose

We want women in the industry to feel supported, to find personal and professional growth as they progress in their careers.

 

Our purpose drives us to break barriers, challenge stereotypes, and create a more inclusive and equitable construction community through networking, and education. We want to empower women to excel in their careers, and ascend beyond traditional barriers.

 

Join us in building a legacy of empowerment and excellence in construction.

Meet Our Team

Behind an organisation like ACED is some pretty remarkable people - in this case, some pretty remarkable females. Each member of our team brings a different perspective, dynamic and personality to develop unique and relevant events to our audience.
