THE BIG CONSTRUCTION DIVERSITY CHALLENGE
THE BIG CONSTRUCTION DIVERSITY CHALLENGE
SHOWCASING DIVERSITY ACROSS CONSTRUCTION
19 JUNE 2026 AT NEWARK SHOWGROUND
THE BIG CONSTRUCTION DIVERSITY CHALLENGE
Building on the success of The Big Rail Diversity Challenge (established in 2016) and The Big Logistics Diversity Challenge (established in 2019), The Big Construction Diversity Challenge continues to champion Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (ED&I) within the UK’s construction industry.
The event promotes the importance of EDI and highlights the business benefits achieved when organisations embrace diversity, bringing teams together to take part in a series of fun, physical, practical, and mental 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 provides a unique platform for organisations to share best practice, network, and team build, helping to shape a more inclusive sector while recognising and rewarding employees with an adventurous day of fun.
THE BIG CONSTRUCTION DIVERSITY CHALLENGE:
Showcases and emphasises the positive difference diversity brings to the industry
Brings together a cross-section of industry workforce, from undergraduates to CEOs
Promotes organisations’ messages supporting a more diverse and inclusive workforce
Opens doors for those looking to embark on a career within the industry
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.
