Utrecht, January 23, 2023 - Royal Jaarbeurs is introducing the first BouwBeurs Ladies Lunch. On February 8, professional women from the construction and installation sector will come together in the so-called BouwBeurs Café and share their knowledge and experiences as women in construction. Construction needs women to build the future together. This makes the luncheon a must for all women in construction, from the tradeswoman who stands with the work boots on the construction site to the construction woman who stands on the ladder in people's homes. One of the participants of the Ladies Lunch is plumber and TikTok star Iris van Liempt: "Ever since I was little I had the dream of becoming a construction worker. Pretty unique in the industry that is mostly dominated by men. I find it super valuable to get to know women who are going through the same thing as me." Another participant, also known from the NPO program Women Who Build, is crane operator Jessica Bruintjes. "I think it's important for us construction women to connect and support each other. Together we are strong," said Jessica Bruintjes.
An afternoon entirely dedicated to women
For five days from Monday, Feb. 6 to Friday, Feb. 10, Utrecht will be all about innovation, sustainability, collaboration and the future-proofing of construction. After the biennial BouwBeurs had to skip one time in 2021 due to corona, this year the event is back stronger than ever. Joyce van de Hoef, BouwBeurs exhibition manager: "Diversity, inclusion and shared impact. With that in mind, there is still a world to be won in construction. Within the sector there are great ambitions and that requires cooperation and connection. So too with and between women working in construction. We still notice that the construction and installation sector is dominated by men and that not enough attention is paid to construction women. We are therefore very proud that for the first time we are organizing the BouwBeurs Ladies Lunch. Not 'one of the guys' for a while, but ladies among themselves. The enthusiasm is great and there are still places available."
