Chestertons Hosts London Pride Event to Promote Inclusion in Property Sector

Chestertons brought together colleagues and clients this month to celebrate Pride in London, hosting a gathering on Whitehall to watch the annual parade. The event aimed to highlight the importance of inclusion across the property industry.

The gathering was organised by Tony Gambrill, Regional Sales Director for North and East London at Chestertons. Tony Gambrill, who grew up in Australia and attended Sydney’s Mardi Gras before moving to Britain in 1999, has been with Chestertons since 2006.

Reflecting on his career, Tony Gambrill noted that attitudes towards the gay community have changed significantly over the past 20 years, and described Pride as a reminder of progress in diversity, community, and inclusion.

Tony Gambrill also commented on the collaborative nature of estate agency, stating that it has contributed to more inclusive workplaces. He described the culture at Chestertons as collaborative, supportive, and focused on client care, in contrast to the perception of estate agency as a hard-nosed sales environment.

Chestertons states that it remains committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where colleagues feel supported in developing their careers. The agency believes that diverse teams bring broader perspectives and ultimately deliver better outcomes for clients.
