Watts Commercial Finance Sponsors Hard Hats to Heels Network

Watts Commercial Finance has announced its sponsorship of the Hard Hats to Heels network, which supports women working in the property and construction sectors. The sponsorship will cover the organisation’s regional and flagship events, including the Hard Hats to Heels Retreat.

The Hard Hats to Heels network hosts 26 events each month, engaging more than 1,000 women across the UK. The network aims to promote increased visibility, confidence, and opportunities for women in property and construction. The upcoming retreat, themed ‘Visibility in Action. Impact by Design’, is expected to bring together over 100 women from across the sectors.

Hard Hats to Heels is led by Hayley and Paul Andrews. The relationship between Watts Commercial Finance and the network began with an introduction involving Hayley, Rebecca Blaymires (commercial manager at Watts Commercial Finance), and Mark Jerman (senior commercial officer at Watts Commercial Finance).

Watts Commercial Finance will sponsor 17 events, including the October Retreat, as part of its wider support for the network. The sponsorship is intended to help create lasting impact across the property and construction industries.

This initiative may be of interest to UK letting agents and inventory clerks seeking to support diversity and inclusion within the property sector.
