With International Women’s Day set to take place on Sunday, the Women in Natural Stone (WINS) team are marking the event with an evening panel discussion on Wednesday 11th March.

Titled How did you come into the stone industry?, the event is designed to highlight the varied routes into natural stone and construction, while encouraging young women and those considering a change in direction to explore opportunities within the industry.

The panel brings together professionals working across geology, contracting, business development and hands-on craft. Speakers include Lisa Nunn, WINS Chair and Senior Geologist at FMDC; Christine Ellis, Business Development Manager at Laing O’Rourke; Isobel Brodrick, Assistant Director at DBR; and Emily Guest, Stonemason at Stonewest. Together, they will share insights into their career journeys and reflect on the skills, opportunities and challenges they have encountered along the way.
