Construction is in Holly’s blood.

With a builder for a dad and a garage full of tools growing up, the industry has always felt like home. So when the opportunity arose to create something genuinely useful for construction businesses, it felt like a natural next step.

The Condor Collective started with a corridor conversation. Holly and Paula quickly discovered they shared a passion for the industry, a belief that it could be an even better place to work, and the drive to make that happen. That conversation became a business.

Holly’s superpower? Turning complexity into clarity.

A self-confessed tech nerd and kinesthetic learner, she’s at her best when solving problems involving data, systems and workforce insights. At The Condor Collective, that means helping leaders transform workforce data into meaningful, actionable decisions.
Her advice for construction leaders looking to strengthen culture is simple: use your people data.
While most businesses closely monitor commercial performance, workforce trends often receive far less attention. Retention, progression, absenteeism and turnover all tell a story. Understanding those patterns early can be the difference between retaining great people and constantly replacing them.

One insight that’s recently energised Holly is the growth in female construction apprentices, with numbers more than doubling over the past decade. As someone passionate about creating more opportunities for women in construction, she sees this as real progress worth celebrating.

Construction offers incredible career opportunities – practical skills, rapid progression and the chance to help shape the world around us. It’s exciting to see more people recognising that potential.

When she’s not deep in data or facilitating workshops, you’ll likely find Holly hiking with her two dogs somewhere green, phone-free and preferably halfway up a hill. Some of her best thinking happens there.
We’re certainly glad she came back down to help build The Condor Collective. 🐾

World Wellbeing Week runs 24–30 June. Here's why it matters in construction.

Wellbeing isn't a nice-to-have. In construction, where the pace is relentless and the pressure is constant, it's a performance foundation.

World Wellbeing Week is a global initiative that brings organisations, teams and leaders together to take meaningful action on how people feel at work. Not just one conversation, one poster, or one tick-box exercise. Practical steps that actually make a difference, during the week and beyond it.

In construction, it is easy to keep moving. Early starts, long days, back-to-back decisions. But sustainable performance doesn't come from pushing harder. It comes from building the right conditions for people to do their best work, consistently.

That starts with the basics.

Moving more, even in small ways, during a long working day. Staying hydrated on site, not just grabbing the nearest can of something on the way to the next task. Protecting sleep, so you arrive clear-headed and ready rather than already running on empty. Creating moments of genuine connection with your team, because isolation is one of the quieter pressures in construction that often goes unspoken.

World Wellbeing Week covers nine themes: physical health, mental health, movement, sleep, hydration, nutrition, gratitude, focus and connection. Each one is an opportunity for construction businesses to make wellbeing visible, practical and consistent, not just something that gets attention when things go wrong.

The organisations that get this right don't treat wellbeing as a separate initiative. They build it into how they operate every day. They make it easy for people to make good choices. They create cultures where people feel supported enough to speak up early, rather than wait until they're struggling.

One thing we see consistently in construction projects that deliver well is this:

The best teams take time early to align on how they’ll communicate, challenge ideas, and work together under pressure.

When I ask a room full of experienced people — main contractors, subcontractors, designers and commercial leads, to describe how their project team will handle disagreement or share difficult information, there’s usually a pause.

Not because people don’t have views. They absolutely do. It’s because those conversations almost never happen explicitly at the start of a project.
Everyone arrives with their own organisation’s culture, their own sense of what’s acceptable, and their own assumptions about how things will work when the pressure is on.

Project Playbook creates the space to surface all of that early, and to build a shared understanding around how the team will actually operate. How they’ll communicate. How they’ll challenge each other. What accountability looks like. What good looks like, together.

I heard this recently from Craig Batterham at ADF, who put it far better than I could:

“Even though I have completed training like this before it has helped align, or realign, some of my thinking, my relationships within the business and my outlook.”
That word — realign — is exactly it.

Project Playbook isn’t about starting from scratch. It’s about giving experienced people the space to align expectations, strengthen relationships and get on the same page before the pressure arrives.
Because on major projects, it always does.

If you’re bringing a major project team together and want to build stronger foundations from the outset, let’s talk.

Last month, we had the absolute pleasure of attending the very first ESG Golf Day at the beautiful Foxhills Golf Club in Surrey. ⛳

72 players. A shotgun start. Glorious weather. A brilliant BBQ, awards, and a raffle to finish the day off in style.

A huge congratulations to Ellis Goldsmith for organising such a fantastic event and a very special mention to Ruby Moledina whose hard work and dedication made the whole day come together so seamlessly.

It was a joy to be surrounded by so many brilliant people, doing something a little different and doing it with real purpose.

Here’s to many more.

In high-pressure environments, behaviour becomes automatic.

Unless you’re aware of it.

That awareness is what allows leaders to pause, regulate, and lead with intention.
