Bright spark Amy honoured

Amy FitzPatrick.

Former Cambridge student Amy FitzPatrick has been celebrated for her leadership skills.

She was named outstanding leader of the year (site-based) at last week’s National Association of Women in Construction Awards.

Her award celebrates women who make a significant leadership contribution to the building, construction or infrastructure industries.

In 2016, FitzPatrick – who had attended Cambridge High School –  founded Pink Sparky, based in Matangi.

The business has become a training hub for tradeswomen.

She was recognised by the judges for her role as a leader who motivates and inspires, advocates for increased female representation in the construction industry and supports women in excelling in their careers.

“Mentorship is so important to me, and motivating others to advance and grow in their careers is hugely rewarding and satisfying,” FitzPatrick said.

National Association of Women in Construction  members work in various roles, including quantity surveyors, project managers, planners, designers, architects, engineers, tradespeople, students, apprentices, health and safety managers, and lawyers.
