Shout Out to Girl Power and Women's Wisdom

Shout Out to Girl Power and Women's Wisdom

A two-minute read. Tuesday 8 March is International Womens' Day. It's a date in the calendar that we always celebrate at Grey & Co.

We see it as a chance to highlight women's positive impact on the world and show our appreciation for the females who add so much to our business.

Brent has had some remarkable women hail from it. Talented actresses like Sophie Okonedo and Lenora Crichlow, the outstanding author Zadie Smith, and sports stars like former England footballer Rachel Yankey.

Even closer to home, our team at Grey & Co is made up of a 50 per cent mix of men and women, which gives us a natural balance.

Our ladies are:
Carina – Property Manager
Denise – Client Care
Rikali – Human Resources & Marketing
Josy – Accounts and Administration
Trisha – Property Manager
Me – Director and Chief Happiness Officer (I see my role as ensuring the team and our clients are all happy).

I've been asked in the past who makes the best estate agents, women or men? Unfortunately, it's impossible to answer as both genders bring different skills and approaches to the role.

As someone who runs a business and is a mother to a young daughter, it can be a fine (and sometimes tricky) balancing act.
It can sometimes feel as if I'm juggling too many balls, but I love what I do, adore my family, and have a great team working with me.

This year International Women's Day is particularly poignant with the terrible events happening in Ukraine.
Everyone at Grey and Co supports the women, children, and men of Ukraine as they deal with the most horrendous situation imaginable.

Thanks for reading.

Below are five key considerations to keep in mind:

Despite greater awareness and tougher legislative measures, mould can still be a significant issue for landlords and tenants. A new survey has found that 43% of tenants have experienced problems with mould and damp in their rental*.

The Bank of England meets tomorrow (Thursday 7 November) to set the official Bank Rate or base rate as it is also known. This is the rate that banks and building societies use to set the interest rates they charge borrowers.
