Women in Construction Meeting and ETP Tour
The second 2023 WiC event was held at ETP late in May. The meeting started with a site tour of ETP, Jenneli gave a great tour and explanation of the Recup Sludge Thickening facilities and Christina Griffin and Anthony Scammell took us through WAS and H/LV. This was followed by lunch and a great guest speaker, Samantha Woodword, a Director at NAWIC and the founder of Think Savvy.
Over 20 ladies participated from across the JV, with this meeting’s focus being work life balance – a big thank you to the team out at ETP for making this happen.
