New Construction Leadership Programme to Launch in Wexford

Wexford, Ireland – 22nd April 2026 – A new leadership development programme tailored specifically for the construction sector, Leading from the Ground Up, will be officially launched at Café Konnect, Wexford Town, at 10:30am on Thursday, 7 May 2026.

Developed in direct response to industry demand, the programme addresses the growing need for strong, sustainable leadership across all aspects of the construction sector. As the industry navigates increasing complexity—from sustainability targets and regulatory change to workforce development—Leading from the Ground Up is designed to equip professionals with the skills, mindset, and tools needed to lead effectively in a rapidly evolving environment.

Delivered by Mags Boland of Bofin Consultancy, the programme focuses on practical, real-world leadership challenges, empowering participants to drive performance, foster collaboration, and deliver high-quality outcomes across projects and organisations. It is particularly relevant for emerging leaders, site managers, supervisors, and professionals stepping into leadership roles.

Speaking ahead of the launch, Mandi Stewart, CEO of the High Performance Building Alliance (HPBA), said:

“We’ve developed Leading from the Ground Up in collaboration with County Wexford Chamber Skillnet and Sustainable HRM Skillnet in direct response to what we’re hearing from industry—there’s a clear need for leadership capability that is grounded, practical, and relevant to the realities of construction today. This programme is about building confidence and competence at every level, enabling people to lead with clarity and impact on site and beyond.”

The launch event is open to industry professionals, stakeholders, and local partners, offering an opportunity to meet with Mags Boland, Skillnet representatives and HPBA to learn more about the programme, its structure, and its intended impact on the sector.

If you are interested in advancing leadership capability within construction, we invite you to join us for a breakfast roll and cup of tea!
