About MIC
The Midlands Irish Construction Network (MIC) brings together people with Irish heritage working across the Midlands construction industry.
We provide a platform to connect, share opportunities, and celebrate the values of trust, collaboration, and community. Through events and networking, MIC helps members build lasting relationships, grow their businesses, and recognise the proud contribution of Irish talent to the region’s construction sector.
Meet Joan
With over three decades of experience working with businesses in the Midlands, Joan excels at working a room full of delegates and forging the ideal introductions that bring the right people together.
Joan moved to Birmingham in 1984. She deeply understands how vital it is to preserve one’s cultural roots – especially within a business context, striking the right balance between personal or cultural identity and commercial expectations is challenging.
She has served as a trustee for The Birmingham Irish Association for ten years and currently holds the position of chair of the organisation.
“Creating MIC as a platform for those with Irish heritage in the construction industry is an honour, and a way to bring that spirit of community and opportunity to the heart of the Midlands. Thanks a million, to everyone who has already joined the MIC community.”
