Meet The Women at Two!

Celebrate International Women’s Day 2024 with us as we embrace the “Inspire Inclusion” theme! At Two, we believe in the power of inclusion to forge a better world. By inspiring others to understand and value the importance of women’s inclusion, we can create a sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment for all.

In the design and build industry, women have historically faced barriers to entry and advancement. When we inspire inclusion, we open doors to new perspectives, ideas, and innovations. At Two, we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment where women can thrive and reach their full potential. In celebration of the women at Two, we asked them for stories and experiences as women in the design and build industry and learn how we can inspire inclusion and create a more equitable and empowering future.

Desrine Taylor – Client Service Manager

Desrine means Two possesses a captivating approach to empowering women and guiding them towards achieving their highest potential, “At Two, we take pride in having a diverse delivery team, with a majority of our team members being women. This is a rarity in the Design and Build industry. Our Operations Director, Gary, values and supports us in achieving our goals. Every day brings a new challenge, which makes our work exciting. Bringing our clients’ visions to life is always rewarding.”

Olivia L’Estrange – Assistant Commercial Manager

Olivia, a recent addition to our team, is motivated by the trailblazing women with influential roles in the construction sites she visits. “I love seeing a job come together from start to finish – working in construction means creating tangible results as a project comes to life. We are constantly challenged to adapt and continuously learn throughout our careers. I appreciate working with such a talented and welcoming group of women. I have always been supported by women who lift each other. I am always inspired by seeing other women in impactful positions when I visit the site.”

Susan McEwen – Client Service Manager

Susan finds tremendous joy and pride in seeing women taking leadership positions and driving positive change in an otherwise fast-paced and dynamic industry, “Female leaders are breaking barriers in this industry, which encourages me to be persistent, especially when working in a hostile or challenging environment. “

India Cornish – Creative Manager

India’s advice for women who are considering a career in the design and build industry is all about confidence, “Time management and building up confidence in yourself and your designs – this is a fast-paced industry, and although extremely rewarding to see the beginning and the result, it can also be overwhelming if time management is not viewed from an early start of a project.  Listen and learn and ask questions, as every woman’s success should be an inspiration to another.  We should all strive to achieve the best together rather than individually.  The industry is a team effort, and we should view the industry as a family.”
