In this episode of Create & Construct: The Podcast, Michelle is joined by Martha Penney, Senior Quantity Surveyor at Taylor Wimpey, for an honest conversation about women in construction, career progression and the reality of working in a commercially influential role.
Together, they discuss how the construction industry is evolving, the importance of visibility, mentorship and male allies, and why opportunity in construction is far broader than many people realise. Martha shares her journey into quantity surveying, what commercial leadership looks like in housebuilding, and how the industry can better support the next generation of women entering construction.
This episode explores leadership, diversity, commercial decision-making, supplier relationships, buyer expectations and the role construction can play in building confidence, practical knowledge and long-term career satisfaction.
