The feelgood factor was turned up to 11 on Friday night, as our very own Rhian Adler took home the Role Model gong at Design and Build UK Women in Construction Awards 2025.
Hard-working Rhi was up for not one, but two, awards at the glittering ceremony which celebrates women in the industry who continue to inspire and more importantly, get the job done.
A packed room at The Royal Lancaster London event heard from inspiring women presenting and receiving plaudits.
Rhi, being the good sport she is, let someone else win the “On the Tools” category but was ecstatic to get her hands on the Role Model award.
Supported by a Solar Gates squad on the night who were all dressed up (the men like weather-beaten penguins, the ladies like shimmering Bond girls), also watching was Rhi’s very proud Nana Avryl.
A few tears were shed by our team when Rhi’s image appeared on the giant on-stage screen, and she was named winner.
The Role Model category recognises individuals who have made “outstanding contributions to the industry and demonstrated exceptional leadership, mentorship and a commitment to a more inclusive and equitable workplace.”
In short, Rhi’s a very special and inspiriting woman (as everyone who knows her knows). And that includes all of us here at Solar Gates.
Keep on being great Rhi, you make it look so easy!
