Keltbray publishes its 2024 Gender Pay Gap Report

Keltbray’s 2024 Gender Pay Gap Report is now available on our website.

This year’s report highlights the strides we’ve made in driving meaningful progress towards greater diversity and inclusion — not just within Keltbray, but across the wider construction industry. While construction has long faced challenges in attracting women, we remain committed to building a more inclusive and appealing environment for future generations. The progress outlined in our 2024 report marks another step forward in laying those important foundations.

Report Highlights

The Stats:

• Keltbray are pleased to report a 10% increase in the number of women working in the company compared to 2023.
• We saw a great improvement in the average gender pay gap, which decreased by 2.2% to 26.87% when compared to 2023. This was driven by a 6.8% increase in average female pay, which outpaced the 3.6% increase in average male pay.

Addressing the gap:

• In 2024, Keltbray improved their family-friendly policies to enable employees to fulfil caring duties whilst maintaining a work-life balance.
• Keltbray have expanded their development programmes to support women in their roles, increasing female representation in our apprenticeship schemes (over the last five years 1 in 3 apprentices have been female).
• For recruitment, attracting women into the construction industry still remains a challenge, however, Keltbray are commitment to overcoming this by ensuring that job vacancy adverts and descriptions use gender-neutral and inclusive language.

Hear from our employees:

Caroline Hudson, Sustainability Manager – Social Value “In the last year we hosted two female only site tours through Transport for London’s Places for People at our 10 King William Street site. The groups were previously set a design task for an overhead station development that we brought to life on-site. The highlight of the session was a talk from myself and Sophia, our Project Engineer, we spoke to them about the opportunities in construction and females in our industry; hopefully breaking the myths and inspiring their career choices.”

Emily Woodhouse, Trainee Quantity Surveyor – “I chose a career in construction because I’ve always been fascinated by how things are built. It’s not easy to be a woman in a male-dominated field. However, the culture is changing, and companies like Keltbray are pushing for change and diversity”.
