International Women’s Day on 8th March 2020has become a diary-date for many organisations to celebrate and focus on the role that women play in helping to shape and enhance their business. The property industry is no different; leading property public relations firm, Elevate PR is marking this event by championing the inspirational women it works with in all aspects of the property world.
According to research from PWC/REB’s 2019 Survey, women in property make up only 22% of board positions and the pay gap stands at 30% compared to men – double the 14% for all UK companies. Whilst progress is clearly evident, with businesses creating inclusion policies, flexible working for all staff and cultural organisation changes, Elevate PR believes that examples of inspiring women should be used to encourage businesses and individuals to harness the skills and talent that exists within the industry.
Personal examples for Elevate PR include, Camilla Dell; Founding Partner of property buying agency Black Brick - a four-time nominee for Spear’s Property Adviser of the Year, is known for her insight into Prime Central London’s off-market property market. Moreover, Angela Walsh, Sales & Marketing Director at Far East Consortium is leading a large team in charge of the launch of what is anticipated to be Canary Wharf’s 3rd tallest residential tower and the regeneration of the iconic Hornsey Town Hall.
Founder & Director of Elevate Public Relations Chanel Bailey comments: “During my 15 years in the property industry, I have seen it evolve to make positive steps towards greater inclusivity. Initiatives like International Women’s Day are a fantastic opportunity not only to celebrate how far the sector has come, but to shine a spotlight on the women who have played a pivotal role in either disrupting the status quo, or have shaped the way for other women to succeed in property.”
Bailey continues: “Over the coming month of March, we will be shining a light on some of the exceptional women we have worked with across various aspects of the property industry. We work with a range of exceptional women from buying agents, developers, agents and designers to architects and engineers – many of whom have championed the success of my business and my colleagues. We are using Elevate PR’s social media channels and we will be hosting an event for the women in property who we have believe have made a difference to the property landscape at the all-female networking hub, The AllBright in March.”
