HTM are a Gold member of the Women in Construction and as a business who strives to be Streets Ahead, we want to continue that approach when it comes to inclusion, gender equality and diversity. This means promoting inclusivity and diversity within our own workforce as well as within the wider TTM industry, which is one that lacks sufficient female representation.

This has led to the creation of an initiative called ‘Target 40’, which acts as an aim for our business to increase the number of females within operational roles by introducing an additional 40 women into the business. Once we reach this milestone, this will become a target of 40% representation across our operational workforce.
