Bowmer + Kirkland’s dedicated fit-out division, YourSpace launched its first BuildHER event in London in February 2026, bringing together women from across construction and the built environment for a morning of connection and conversation.

The session provided attendees with an opportunity to share career journeys, challenges and ambitions. A highlight of the event was an inspiring talk from guest speaker Helen Gawor. Helen spoke candidly about her career path, from working in a male-dominated subcontractor environment to holding board-level positions, offering powerful examples of what is possible through resilience, leadership and driving transformation within the construction sector.

The event was devised by Lauren Creswell, Pre-Construction Manager at Your Space, she said: “I'm incredibly proud to have launched BuildHER. I am passionate about championing women in construction and the built environment. Representation really does matter, particularly for younger generations who are deciding what a future in construction could look for them. I am looking forward to building on the success of this event over the coming months.”

Barry Perkins, Managing Director of YourSpace said: “I am extremely proud of Lauren and the team for bringing the first BuildHer event to life, events like this encourage honest conversation and collaboration and are vital in shaping inclusivity across the industry.”
