Dean Jones has over 25 years’ industry experience working as an architectural technologist, building surveyor, and project manager in the offices of architects, engineers, and construction companies. Some of the most significant projects he has worked on include the Palace of Westminister security programme, MKU a new university for Milton Keynes, and the Metropolitan Police estate renewal programme to name just a few. A fellow of the CIOB, his goal is to be a role model and help give BAME employees confidence to bring their true selves to work, celebrate what makes them different and use their voices to inform change. Jones said: “I don’t think construction companies are inclusive enough, although I believe the industry has woken up to this. Diversity seems to be more of a buzzword and a tick-box exercise in a lot of organisations which is a shame as the current construction workforce in the UK is more culturally diverse than ever before. But the significant lack of racial diversity at the top of these organisations is plainly obvious.”
