Empowering Women

Leading From The Front

Leading from the Front is our community for women who want to connect, grow, and be part of meaningful conversations across our industry.

 

The community brings together ambitious women at different stages of their careers to share experiences, support one another, and engage with topics that matter, both professionally and personally. It’s a space to be inspired, to be heard, and to build lasting connections with others who understand the realities of working in the built environment.

With a network of over 500 women, Leading from the Front has grown into a vibrant and engaged community. We host quarterly in-person events that give members the opportunity to reconnect and explore key themes such as returning to work after time away, navigating a male-dominated industry, and building confidence and visibility in the workplace.

Alongside our events, we run webinars to ensure the community remains accessible to women across different locations and circumstances, offering flexibility for those unable to attend in person.

Building a diverse and inclusive workforce has always been central to Oyster’s success. Leading from the Front is an extension of that commitment, a way of bringing women together from across our wider network, celebrating their contribution, and continuing to build a stronger, more connected industry.
