Who are the people changing construction for the better? Announcing the UKCW Role Models Winners for 2026
UKCW Role Models shines a spotlight on the people making a real difference across the built environment: the leaders, innovators and emerging talent helping to shape the future of construction. Recognising excellence across architecture, engineering, construction technology, property and the wider supply chain, the award highlights individuals whose contribution goes beyond their day job to inspire others, challenge convention and drive positive change.
With three categories: Rising Star, Pioneer and Icon, UKCW Role Models recognises outstanding achievement at every stage of a career, from the next generation of industry talent to established figures whose influence is felt across the sector.
Following the announcement of the shortlist at UK Construction Week London, this special session at UKCW Birmingham will reveal the 2026 winners and celebrate the exceptional leadership, innovation and impact that have earned them recognition as some of the industry's most inspiring role models.
