New website champions black construction professionals 

Diversitas has unveiled a new website to help promote and encourage increased leadership among black professionals within the Construction Industry Council (CIC) and across the built environment.

The umbrella body was launched in 2023, with support from CIC under the direction of past chair Justin Sullivan.

The new digital platform will provide a central hub for resources, news and events from Diversitas and its member organisations, including the Association for Black and Minority Ethnic Engineers, BPIC Network, BAME Planners Network, and Diversity Surveyors.

Jessica Taylor, Diversitas’ chair, said: “Diversitas was created to drive representation for black leaders in the built environment. 

“The new website will be instrumental in working towards these aims and sharing the work of our members. I am delighted with the end result of a user-friendly informative website.”

Diversitas’ vice chair, Gail Royston, added: “For too long, black construction professionals have been underrepresented at the highest levels. 

“The Diversitas website reinforces our role as a vehicle for change – driving the built environment towards greater inclusion, visibility, and more diverse leadership.”
