About Build Impact
My expertise
Hi, I'm Faye and I provide total solutions for social value, diversity and inclusion, people and culture, leadership, collaboration and tendering within the built environment.
With nearly 20 years experience in a multitude of areas across construction, engineering, and consulting including rail, energy, retail, healthcare, utilities, marine, and defence - I help organisations to level up their social impact.
I am an award winning Social Value expert, recognised as 'Social Value Leader' in 2021 at the Social Value awards. Customers ranging from tier 1 contractors to public sector organisations recommend my services. I am a trained public sector procurement advisor and am fluent in procurement awards and processes.
My expertise ranges from supporting procurement outcomes, to leading successful tenders, to developing policy and process, through to training and building capability.
What sets me apart, is my in depth knowledge of how to deliver social value on infrastructure projects, and my ability to work alongside C and D suite leaders to truly understand how to make this work for their business. At the end of the day, social value is good for business and contributes to sustainable, profitable growth, whilst also providing some of the solutions to our most pressing industry challenges.
I was recognised in 2018 as Northern Power Woman due to my efforts to support hundreds of under-represented groups into construction, in particular girls in STEM.
In 2024, I was awarded 'WISE Outstanding Women In Engineering' for my contribution to gender and disability parity in engineering.
More about me
If you read my LinkedIn recommendations you'll notice the words 'values' 'collaborative' 'passion' 'authenticity' and 'integrity' a lot. If you work with me this is exactly what you're getting. I bring you the best expertise and advisory services to help your business grow, with purpose.
I have advised key customers such as Network Rail, Land Securities, DfE, MoD, and the NHS, and the many contractors throughout the supply chain. As a writer and excellent communicator, I have led high scoring social value responses on over 100 tenders in my career including successfully securing projects such as British Antarctic Survey Phase2, Babcock Nuclear Submarine Base Plymouth, and Westgate Oxford.
I am a regular guest speaker on D&I at industry events such as London Build Expo and a contributor to trade press such as Construction News. My work in the disability inclusion space led me to meet HRH Princess Anne in 2021 to celebrate my impact in STEM.
Today I advise, coach, and consult businesses to help them level up, effectively and efficiently to drive sustainable growth through purpose.
