At Brighton Homes we take every day as an opportunity to achieve gender equality so that we can #EmbraceEquity. With 47% of our staff and 43% of our senior management team identifying as female, we are not only striving to achieve gender equality but also working towards a more diverse and inclusive workplace where women have a greater influence in shaping our business.
Striving towards gender equality doesn't stop at our employees but we consistently work to ensure it flows through to our build community. Our goal is to empower women that home ownership is something they can achieve independently.
Below we've highlighted just a handful of our female customers who have built with Brighton independently. They share their journey highlighting why they decided to build a home, how Brighton helped them and what their home build means for their future legacy.
"A lot of people surprisingly and unfortunately said it would be too hard. A lot of people I'd met along the way such as colleagues and friends said there would be too many hurdles, however, I thought otherwise and here we are. Brighton certainly made me feel listened to. They make me feel like this wasn't just a possibility, this could be a reality for me."
Lucy had the goal of owning a home by the time she was 25. It wasn’t until age 31 that she stopped listening to the naysayers and walked into Brighton Homes to sign the contract to build her very first home! Overcoming the seeds of doubt in her mind planted by others saying she could never do it by herself, Lucy proved them all wrong and bought her vision to life with the help of Brighton.
"This house is my life. I came to Australia in 2001 and I have been renting my whole life. I am the first person in my family to own a house so it is, it is... This is my life. It's like I have shown my kids that the sky is the only limit. You can be whatever you want to be and age is just a number. Even at 50, you can own a house. I've built my dream home."
"I have been searching for my own foundation for about 15 years and I have finally got it. I have created it myself and I don't need anyone else to help me because I have achieved everything that I have needed to do for a long time."
