We are delighted to announce our sponsorship of the prestigious Mentor of the Year category at the upcoming Generation for Change (G4C) Awards.

The awards ceremony will take place on 27th March at the MacDonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, celebrating excellence and innovation in the construction industry’s next generation of leaders.

Industry Leadership and Engagement

Our involvement in the awards is further strengthened by the participation of our QHSE Manager, Mariam Elkaradia, who will serve as a judge on the awards panel. This appointment reflects our ongoing commitment to fostering talent and supporting professional development within the construction sector.

“Being part of the G4C Awards judging panel is an incredible opportunity to recognise and celebrate the emerging talent in our industry,” explains Mariam. ” As the new Chair of G4C in the East Midlands, I’m really looking forward to helping grow the network and create more opportunities for young professionals.”

Our Chief Commercial Officer, Jonathan Bowl, adds: “Our sponsorship of the Mentor of the Year category aligns perfectly with our values and commitment to developing future industry leaders. By supporting G4C and becoming members of CE Midlands, we’re investing in the future of construction while strengthening our position as industry innovators.”

Generation For Change (G4C)

G4C a key initiative of CE Midlands, represents a cornerstone in developing the construction industry’s next generation of leaders. Through its comprehensive programme of events, mentoring opportunities, and knowledge-sharing initiatives, G4C creates valuable platforms for young professionals to connect, learn, and grow within the sector.

The forum plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between established industry leaders and emerging talent, fostering an environment where innovation and fresh perspectives can thrive. By facilitating meaningful connections and providing structured development opportunities, G4C helps shape the future of construction through the lens of its youngest and most dynamic participants.

Our Chief People Officer, Carolyn Cole, emphasises the importance of supporting emerging talent: “At Lucion, we believe that investing in the next generation of construction professionals is not just about building careers – it’s about building a more sustainable and innovative future for our industry.

Our involvement with G4C and support of these awards demonstrates our commitment to nurturing talent and creating pathways for professional growth.”
