Ella Mills has to say...
Not being drawn to full time university, after her A-Levels Ella decided to pursue a Planning Apprenticeship with Sir Robert McAlpine, an avenue that saw her attend London’s Southbank University part time, studying a degree in Construction Management. This was five years ago, and she’s been with the business ever since.
The number of women working on projects with me has only increased since I started, and this visibility really makes a difference. I think the firm has made a real effort to make sure women feel seen and heard, it makes it so much easier to speak up about any issues you’re facing when you’re in a room where you feel like you truly belong.
