The Margaret Hickey Award

This year’s Margaret Hickey Award winner will be announced at our annual Women in Trade event on 2^nd April, 2027. 

The Margaret Hickey Award recognises women who have overcome the barriers of working within the building and construction industry to succeed. Bowens has continuously encouraged and empowered women by offering employment opportunities across multiple departments within the business. In homage to the success of professional women at Bowens, we have named The Margaret Hickey Award after the first woman Bowens employed in 1912.

If you’re a female trade, builder, apprentice, building designer, architect, or work within a construction or building company in the office or onsite industry, fill out the nomination form to be considered for the award.

Enter or nominate someone you know in the industry now!
