Today, we are showing our support of the Maddie Rose Campaign by adopting its logo for Maddie’s Day!

The campaign aims to shine a spotlight on the vast range of careers with the construction industry and inspire diverse, young talent to access these opportunities.

The initiative was set up in memory of Maddie Rose Hollamby, an inspirational young woman who was dedicated to showcasing careers within the sector and highlight their benefits to other young people, so that they could develop through it as she had herself and reach their full potential.

To honour Maddie’s legacy, the CYT has developed a Hidden Careers Programme in partnership with the wider construction community, which aims to encourage young people and help them access opportunities across the sector.

We actively supported this programme by providing a relatable role model to attend one of their school sessions, at Oasis Academy South Bank, and saw firsthand how much of an impact it can have on the school children.

We invite others to similarly adopt the logo and ‘turn yellow’ for the day to help keep Maddie’s legacy alive!

“My career at Niblock Electrical started 3 years ago when I joined as a testing engineer. Through training, I completed my SMSTS qualification which enabled me to assume responsibility for all aspects of the health, safety and wellbeing of all persons on site. I was given the opportunity to step up to the role of site manager for one of our large University clients, and with the experience I gained in this role, and through guidance from senior management, I was promoted to my current role as Assistant Project Manager.
 
I am very grateful for the large amount of trust put in me which has enabled me to reach my current position.
 
Working with a team you respect makes a challenging job much more manageable. I hope to repay the trust shown in me for many years to come.” Matt Cunningham.
