Throughout 2025 she has been awarded more than 15 industry accolades \u2013 five in just one night at <em>Construction News\u2019<\/em> \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.constructionnews.co.uk\/inspire-me\/winners-revealed-for-women-in-construction-engineering-awards-2025-17-09-2025\/\">Inspiring Women in Construction &amp; Engineering Awards<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Her achievements have been recognition in part for her work in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.constructionnews.co.uk\/skills\/high-achievers-recognised-at-cn-workforce-awards-2025-13-11-2025\/\">encouraging females<\/a> into the sector through Construction For Women (CFW), which she founded two years ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople have joked that I\u2019m the Ant and Dec of construction awards,\u201d she laughed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never really won an award before \u2013 I turn up and I don\u2019t usually win. To win all these this year has been incredibly humbling, I\u2019m still in shock. But nothing can compare to winning five in one evening. That was just the most overwhelming evening of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Described by one person as \u201cthe most decorated\u201d woman in construction, Preston is not one to rest on her laurels and is already planning a bumper calendar of events in 2026 to build on her success.<\/p>\n<h3>More mentors<\/h3>\n<p>This year saw her bring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.constructionnews.co.uk\/inspire-me\/gallaway-boss-urges-gender-culture-shift-on-sites-16-09-2025\/\">150 young women to UKREiiF,<\/a> promising to match them all with mentors \u2013 she ended up helping 186.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Preston has ambitious plans to get 1,000 women teamed up with mentors by the end of 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to scale it up next year to a 1,000 and change the face of construction by having women feel supported,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cResearch shows if you have a mentor you are five times more likely to stay in a role than if you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe awards have given me the confidence and voice to say I will do this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition, she is launching six Next Generation Conferences over 2026 for women in Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Cardiff, London and Glasgow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe aim is to have around 150 women at each one and we will give sessions on how to build their network, deal with imposter syndrome and sessions on why social impact is instrumental to their careers,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTenders have 20 per cent requirement for females and on site there are only around 1 per cent. I want to show young women there is a future for them. I\u2019m going to be really bold and say that anyone who comes, hopefully 900 women across 2026, they will all get a mentor and I will have 1,000 mentors by the end of 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Preston and Galloway have been recognised for the success of their Early Talent Programme working with youngsters and their Prison Leavers programme, which sees inmates trained and given jobs on their release.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can be a main contractor but also have a social responsibility by building a workforce for the future,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is all embedded in everything I do for Galloway \u2013 it\u2019s second nature to us now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Originally from a marketing background, when Preston entered the world of construction nine years ago she was able to view it with a fresh pair of eyes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs an outsider coming in it was easier for me because I could see what was wrong and what needed fixing,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a dinosaur of an industry and I didn\u2019t want to be known for running a construction firm where the only social value to it was sponsoring children\u2019s football teams. That\u2019s not what I am about.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt gave me a blank canvas to look at who we were and what we could achieve together, but for me it\u2019s also about building the people up around you. That is what gives me a sense of pride.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>\u2018Change is possible\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>Reflecting on 2025, Preston said her take-out from this year is to \u201cbelieve that change is possible\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to walk on a construction site in five years\u2019 time and find there is just me on it. I want to change that landscape,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo door is closed \u2013 anyone who wants to be in construction can be and will be supported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe construction industry is ready for a culture change and I think the recognition I have had this year has given me the springboard to deliver even more impact next year.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Manchester-based Gallaway Construction\u2019s chief executive Renee Preston was named the \u2018Winner of Winners\u2019 for inspiring women at the start of the year she had never won an award before.
