Unashamedly ambitious, Gomes won the Best Woman in Health and Safety category in the Women in Construction & Engineering Awards in 2021 and one of Health and Safety at Work’s 40 under 40 achievers in 2018. She has been an IOSH council member since 2019. Gomes is frank about the challenges she faces, as someone who doesn’t fit the traditional construction mould in the UK and explains that becoming a parent created even more barriers. (She talks about this in her recent TEDx talk.)
