51 Women In UK CRE Who Survived And Thrived In 2020 And 2021
The last time Bisnow produced its list of amazing women doing brilliant things in UK commercial real estate in late 2019, the world was a very different place.
Given the difficulty of the past 18 months, we decided to use 2021’s list to celebrate some of the wonderful people who have risen to the challenges, and not only survived but thrived in their professional lives.
This year's list is as diverse as ever, in all senses of the word, and includes women who have steered businesses through the rocky waters of the coronavirus pandemic, started new firms during a recession, helped tenants or customers stave off the worst effects of Covid-19, and generally met challenges head-on with energy and enthusiasm.
When we canvassed our readers for suggestions about who should be on the list, there was a pleasing focus on sustainability — it would seem that women in real estate are leading the charge when it comes to fighting the climate crisis. Their message is starting to spread to every corner of the sector.
After a pause in early 2021, Bisnow’s Women Leading Real Estate event will also return in September, by far the largest event in commercial property bringing women in the sector together to network and hear from a dazzling array of speakers. We hope that after too long apart, you’ll join us and take the chance to be together again.
