Launched in 2025 by multi-media specialists Nimble Media Ltd, this flagship event helps break down barriers, change the image of construction and ultimately bridges the skills gap in the sector.

“Construction is built on collaboration, and The Big Construction Diversity Challenge perfectly captures that spirit. By bringing organisations and individuals together to champion equality, diversity and inclusion, the event strengthens teamwork, shared understanding and positive change across the industry. We’re proud to return as charity partner and to support an initiative that reflects the collective values and collaborative heart of construction.” - Trisha Pickersgill, Chief Executive at CRASH

The Big Construction Diversity Challenge provides a unique platform for organisations to share best practice, network, and team build, helping to shape a more inclusive sector while recognising and rewarding employees with an adventurous day of fun.

As construction looks to attract and retain future talent, creating a sector where everyone feels welcome and valued has never been more important.

We are proud to be part of this event and grateful for the support it generates for CRASH, helping us create places that care for people experiencing homelessness and those receiving hospice care. Together, we are making a positive and lasting impact on both our industry and wider society.”
