Eight leading Black figures in the construction industry have been named to celebrate Black History Month (1-31 October).
The list of Black Excellence in the Building Industry has been created by London-based construction consultancy Arcas & Callisto, founded by father-and-daughter team Shaoqiang Li and Jia Li in 2017.
Arcas & Callisto said it had created the list to educate and inspire the industry and people considering joining it, highlighting the fact that only 3.4% of all construction managers in the UK are from ethnic minorities.
The eight Black industry figures to feature in the Black Excellence in the Building Industry list are as follows.
