Events such as these strengthen our long-standing commitment to representation, equity, and opportunity in a traditionally male-dominated sector. They also provide an important platform to extend the educational and development initiatives embedded across the A.G. Coombs Group.
Thank you to everyone who attended and participated in this ‘Advancement of Women’ A.G. Coombs Leadership Academy event and helping us champion progress and contribute to a stronger, more equitable building services industry.
