FLIC strengthens advisory board

FLIC (Female Leaders in Construction) has appointed five new members to its advisory board. 

The group welcomes Karen Campbell, group corporate communications director at the Springfield Group; Louise Chambers, partner at Burness Paull; Hazel Davies, sales and marketing director at Cruden; Elaine Farquharson-Black, partner at Brodies; and Marion Forbes, director of performance and organisational change at AC Whyte & Co Ltd.

Founded in 2024 by Liana Canavan of The Firefly Consultancy and Julie Moulsdale of Perceptive Communicators, FLIC was created to increase the number of women in senior leadership roles across construction.

Liana said: “Having experience of board level positions in the construction sector, I recognised a need to support women at a senior level.   

“We are delighted to welcome these talented individuals onto FLIC’s advisory oard and believe they will help shape an even better performing sector.”

With women under-represented in the sector, particularly at senior level, FLIC provides a platform for connection, visibility and support. 

Its membership is open to women with at least 15 years’ experience in construction, offering events, training and networking opportunities to share best practice and inspire the next generation of leaders.

Julie added: “The construction sector is facing so many challenges, from cost pressures to productivity.   

“This is about unlocking the power of senior women in construction to support not only the women in this group, but the performance of the whole construction sector and ultimately our wider economy. 

“The advisory board are inspiring role models for senior women in the sector, with a wide range of skills.  

“FLIC provides a unique opportunity for those involved to build relationships, collaborate and be inspired, so supercharging not only individual careers and organisations but also more broadly across our whole economy.”
