Ormskirk Advertiser
|June 26, 2025
WORK experience placements for women have been hosted on Anwyl construction sites including one in Burscough as part of a drive to diversify the workforce and encourage new talent.
-
Anwyl Homes took part in the Women into Home Building programme, organised by the Home Builders Federation, and offered work experience at various sites across the North West and North Wales.
The three-week programme aims to encourage and support more women to explore leadership careers within the industry.
It includes a week of funded online training and insight sessions, offering foundational knowledge in site management; followed by a two-week work experience placement, providing direct exposure to industry operations and leadership responsibilities.
Nobu Ndebele, who took part in the programme at Anwyl's Dalton Fields development in Chorlton, said: "I was looking for a fresh challenge and new direction after maternity leave.
"I want a fulfilling, hands-on career where each day feels meaningful and rewarding.
