Thanks to Illawarra Flame advertisers Grand Pacific Homes for providing this article

Well done to Marlowe Richards of Grand Pacific Homes on winning the 2023 Illawarra Women In Business award for Outstanding Executive Employee.

With an extensive background in architecturally designed homes, Marlowe brings her Interior Design expertise, as well as her empathy and understanding of our clients’ individual needs to every project. She helps plan beautiful interiors, explains council requirements and guides clients when selecting materials and finishes, staying engaged until the build is complete.

Marlowe is passionate about educating and empowering clients, women in particular, so they can contribute to the building process with confidence and advocate for their vision.  She spends time explaining building jargon and processes to help reduce the stress that can sometimes overwhelm clients. With challenging decisions, including budget concerns, Marlowe helps clients make good choices to ensure the best possible outcome.

During her time with us, Marlowe has contributed to our positive business culture, both behind the scenes and as an ambassador in the community, speaking to people throughout the Illawarra and representing our core values of trust and integrity.

Working in a male-dominated industry, Marlowe is supporting change by implementing a mentoring program to encourage girls at school to enter a career in design, architecture, engineering or a trade in the construction industry.
