The Big Construction Diversity Challenge
The Big Construction Diversity Challenge
Following the success of The Big Rail Diversity Challenge (established in 2016) and The Big Logistics Diversity Challenge (established in 2019), event organisers Nimble Media Ltd are excited to introduce a new Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (ED&I) event to the UK’s construction industry.
The Big Construction Diversity Challenge is designed to promote and embrace the importance of EDI across the construction industry and the business benefits attained when companies improve diversity by engaging teams in a series of fun physical, practical and mental team challenges.
“Without diversity and inclusion, we won’t have diversity of thought; without diversity of thought, we won’t have innovation; without innovation, we won’t have sustainable supply chains; and without sustainable supply chains, we won’t save the planet!” – Richard Atkinson CBE, CILT Fellow and Aston University academic fellow in supply chain management and engineering systems.
The Big Construction Diversity Challenge also presents the opportunity for organisations to share best practice, network, team build. It’s an opportunity to help shape a more inclusive sector while recognising and rewarding employees with an adventurous day of fun.
The Big Construction Diversity Challenge:
The Big Construction Diversity Challenge:

Why is EDI important?
Why is EDI important?
A diverse and inclusive working environment, where team members’ unique needs, perspectives and potential are respected and encouraged, creates a sense of belonging. When employees feel more connected at work, they tend to work harder and smarter, producing higher quality work. As a result, organisations see huge gains in business results, innovation and decision-making.

Here's to shaping the future—together! 💪🌈"
