Join us for the first in a series of panel discussions exploring what success looks like for working mothers in the property industry today.

Our panel will share their experiences of forging careers that work for them - whether through flexible working, alternative routes, or unconventional approaches to balancing professional and family life. The discussion will highlight the diverse ways women are shaping their careers while managing family responsibilities, from flexible working arrangements and entrepreneurship to sector shifts and career changes. Our aim is to provide real-life insights, practical strategies, and inspiration to support those currently trying to manage the balancing act!

The panel will feature Tara Stott, Associate Director at AtkinsRéalis; Melanie Hay, Director at Hamilton Hay Van Jonker; Gemma Somerville, Associate at Wellwood Leslie Architects; Sheena Raeburn, Director at RaeburnFarquharBowen; and Sarah-Jane Storrie, Director at Studio SJM Architects.

Hosted at Il Salotto, a newly opened meeting space designed to foster thought-provoking conversations and fresh ideas among creative professionals, the event will provide an opportunity to connect over fizz and nibbles while engaging in honest and open discussion.

This event is kindly sponsored by AtkinsRéalis and Il Salotto.

Places are limited - register now to be part of the conversation.

Members and non-members of all genders are welcome to attend.
