Welcome to the Circle Partnership.

The leading mentoring, development, and networking organisation for the UK built environment

We are taking practical action to change the long term composition, culture and capacity of the built environment, though improving mid level female talent retention and increasing gender balance at senior leadership level.

The Circle Academy

A carefully curated 12-month programme of mentoring, training and networking for mid-level female talent.

Our academy runs on an annual basis and accepts up to 100 partners per year.

Development Circle

Individual and group coaching services, bespoke talent development solutions and ad hoc consultancy for businesses looking to support their mid-level talent in growing skills, confidence and connections.

Mentoring Circle

Supporting businesses to maximise the benefits of mentoring through the design and delivery of bespoke internal mentoring programmes, and reverse mentoring initiatives. We also provide support in maximising the effectiveness of Women’s Networks.

Supporting other women early on in their careers is a fantastic way to share valuable knowledge and experience, as well as providing a friendly face in a sometimes daunting environment. I’ve been involved with The Circle Partnership since it began and seen how much of a difference it has already made to so many women – both mentees and mentors. I encourage everyone who is passionate about changing the make-up of construction to get involved.
