KHT Director wins leading award

Maggi Howard

KHT's Director of Regeneration and Maintenance, Maggi Howard, has won the Outstanding Individual Award at the Women in Construction Awards 2008. Maggi and her colleagues at KHT have helped to significantly boost the number of women in the Merseyside construction industry.

KHT's work with the Fusion21 Skills Programme has seen women get jobs as plumbers, painters, decorators and plasterers. KHT has also helped more than 1,000 people get into employment.

Maggi said: “I am delighted to pick up this award on behalf of KHT. It recognises the great work that we are doing to create opportunities for women to develop their long term careers within the construction industry."

Colette McKune, Managing Director of Fusion 21, said: “Maggi is an inspirational woman. She is not only an advocate for increasing the number of women in construction but also for improving the impact construction can have on the environment.”
