Rightmove has agreed a new two-year partnership with the property network Women in Estate Agency (WIEA).
WIEA is formed of a range of property industry professionals, both women and men, who give their time to drive change and equality for women across the estate agency sector.
Rightmove and WIEA have worked together for a number of years, with this new agreement seeing Rightmove supporting WIEA in its expansion into two new initiatives.
WIEA’s new leadership training programme will see WIEA provide several one-day leadership training courses for women in agency across the country, aimed at building future female leaders for the industry. The events will take place over the next two years and be held at Rightmove’s offices.
WIEA will also be hosting new regional advocate events over the next two years with the support of Rightmove, which aims to bring together and expand WIEA’s network of regional advocates. The advocates programme aims to engage property professionals all over the UK to spread the values of WIEA, acting as regional representatives.
These two new initiatives are in addition to WIEA’s ever growing annual conference, where Rightmove returns as the headline sponsor. Rightmove & WIEA have worked together on the annual conference since its inception to date, and this new partnership includes further Rightmove support at the event over the next two years.
Colleen Babcock, Rightmove’s head of partner marketing, said: “What really stands out about Women in Estate Agency is that it’s a supportive group of people who are coming together to share experiences, learn and improve, as individuals but also as an industry. Equality and diversity across the property industry is so important, with work still to be done, so we’re really pleased to support networks with values like those of Women in Estate Agency.
“The environment WIEA creates is open, honest and real. Speaking at the event last year was particularly exciting and I can’t wait to see what we can do together over the next couple of years.”
Verona Frankish, chair of the Women in Estate Agency committee, commented: “We are thrilled to strengthen our partnership with Rightmove, a market leader that shares our commitment to advancing equality and diversity within the estate agency sector. This collaboration will allow us to expand our reach and impact through new initiatives that focus on leadership development and regional advocacy.
“By empowering more women to step into leadership roles and amplifying our message across the UK, we are taking significant steps towards a more inclusive and equitable industry. Rightmove’s continued support underscores the importance of our mission. Together, we are shaping a brighter future for all professionals in estate agency.”
