I have been a Women in Property member for 20 years. The many friendships and support I have received over those years have provided me with countless opportunities, an incredible network and a platform to develop my leadership role. My position on the board is to provide others with these same connections and to act as a role model for future generations, demonstrating that they too can achieve this. There are still many challenges in the industry, which is why we still need an organisation such as Women in Property. I am very proud of all the time and energy that our members, allies and collaborators contribute to help support diversity and inclusion across the industry. FAVOURITE PODCAST: Current favourite is fellow board director Hannah Lloyd, Women in Wellies of course and another good listen is Planning after Dark.
