Congratulations to our Finance Director Janet Deane, on her election as Vice President of Construction Employers Federation at the Federation’s 81st Annual General Meeting.
The event also marked the launch of CEF’s first ever Annual Conference, held at Riddell Hall Belfast, an exciting milestone for the industry.
The AGM marked the beginning of a new leadership for the CEF, with Gareth Loye assuming the role of President and Janet Deane as Vice President.
Janet’s appointment is a well-deserved recognition of her expertise, commitment and leadership within the industry. It also represents an important step forward in strengthening the representation of women in construction, highlighting the growing influence and impact of female leaders in shaping the sector’s future.
In her new role, Janet looks forward to working closely with CEF members to help drive progress and build a stronger, more resilient construction industry across Northern Ireland.
We are immensely proud to see Janet’s leadership recognised at this level and are confident she will make a valuable contribution to the Federation and the wider industry.
