We are pleased to introduce to you Peter Lucas Project Management, one of WESK’s amazing Charter Champions. As a proud advocate for gender parity, joining the Charter was important for the leadership team, as they consider women-led businesses to be a largely untapped economic resource within Saskatchewan.
Since 2011, Peter Lucas Project Management has been specializing in representing client interests by aligning skill and personality with team and opportunity to ensure project success. Combining experience with the courage to take on big problems, Peter Lucas is driving Saskatchewan’s innovation by engaging visionary leaders in the mission to mine in space.
As a Charter Champion, Peter Lucas is thrilled to be supporting women entrepreneurs in Saskatchewan. COO, Brandon Harris believes that “supporting women-owned businesses is good for the economy and our society in general. If you consider that in 2020 only approximately 2% of all venture capital was invested in women-led start-ups (Feb 25th, Harvard Business Review) and believe, as I do, that talent does not discriminate on gender, sex, colour, etc., then you will certainly agree that we have a lot of room for improvement. Women entrepreneurs that are able to overcome this apparent bias deserve intentional support!”
Joining the Charter enhances Peter Lucas Project Management’s commitment to working towards developing teams that support diversity and provide safe, supportive, and empowering work environments for everyone. The team at Peter Lucas are proud to support women entrepreneurs and influencers, specifically those in non-traditional roles, and aim to be part of the network that dismantles any barriers that prevent their full participation in Saskatchewan’s economic growth.
“This is where the Saskatchewan Women Entrepreneurship Charter is so valuable. It provides a roadmap for business owners and operators to start working towards a more equitable and prosperous economy and a better-balanced society. At Peter Lucas, we are proud to walk this path with other Saskatchewan signatories and want to thank WESK for charting the path forward,” said Harris.
Peter Lucas Project Management has proudly begun work “Sharing Skills with Her” and “Shattering a Ceiling”. They have become members of Women in Mining – SK and are actively participating in their training committee. Through the Charter, Peter Lucas Management is excited to utilize WESK’s Women-Owned Business Database for a more intentional procurement strategy, as well as find more ways to continue to “Amplify Her Voice”.
The overarching goal for Peter Lucas Project Management is to move humanity forward by impacting families, communities, and the world. As a team of dynamic professionals who value growth, embrace change, and have the courage to go after something as BIG as mining an asteroid, they are thrilled to be a part of creating a space to close the gender entrepreneurship gap in Saskatchewan.
