Brought to you by Metroll Mackay

Join us at our first ever HIA Mackay Building Women Luncheon brought to you by Metroll Mackay, aimed at women involved in or associated with the construction industry, including builders, suppliers, tradeswomen, interior designers, and subcontractors. This event offers a unique opportunity for women to connect, whether they work directly in construction or own a residential or commercial business. It is designed to support and celebrate the contributions of women currently in the industry, while also encouraging more women to join. The event serves as a platform to elevate the profile of women in construction and promote excellence within the field!
