Freehold LGBT+ CIC

Savills has a long-standing and strong relationship with Freehold LGBT+ CIC and was delighted to host them along with co-sponsor COREcruitment Ltd for a pre-Pride march event at our global HQ. Our Café 33 event space was full of people from client organisations such as Lendlease, British Land, Landsec, Battersea Power Station, Shaftesbury Capital PLC and Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, as well as colleagues and other property professionals from around 70 property-related companies. "As a flagship event for Freehold, with over 140 people in attendance, it gave us a great opportunity to network and celebrate #Pride. The event showed the power of bringing people from different organisations and roles together. We will continue to strive to achieve this in our activities next year." - Sarah Chapman - Director, Savills & Freehold LGBT+ CIC Board Member. #SavillsPride Photos: Des Curran

The results are in! Thank you everyone who took the time to complete the survey - we’re certainly moving in the right direction. There is a call for more visible role models from the LGBTQ+ community and allies, we can all answer that call. #LGBTQ #allies #RealEstate

Whether you were at UKREiiF or not, or were just actively ignoring weather forecast this week; there’s still time to fill out the survey gauging LGBTQ+ Attitudes, Actions and Allies in the property industry. We’d love to hear from across the real-estate industry 👇👇👇 Results will come out at Freehold LGBT+ CIC Real Estate conference on 13/06, presented by EG

Thank you #Leeds UKREiiF fringe events for hosting The #DHS 3-Space (UK) Ltd this afternoon & evening; perhaps a short but sweet visit, but a totally worthy journey to make. Kicking of with PROPSKI PROSPECTS networking drinks at Revolución de Cuba fantastic to see so many fellow Propskiers 🏔️⛷️ Pippa Beesley, David Oberoi-Morris, Paul Hosford, Evelyn Hogan, James Parker, Mark Hobbs to name but a few - Great to see you all and I hope myself and Giles Edwards will see you all on the slopes at Propski 2025 / 18th -25th January Hitting two birds with one stone, the event I was intended to go was also held in the exact same venue 🙏🏼 Hosted by Freehold LGBT+ CIC raising awareness and monies for Stonewall Housing 🏠🌈 The charity I am so #passionate & #privileged to be #ambassador for ❤️ and the evening kindly sponsored by Lendlease, TFT & Cobalt. I believe from response I successfully delivered, what is now my 5th public speech for this incredible charity, whom once helped ME, when I was rendered homeless and living roadside in a car. I am therefore simply delighted to announce we raised over £1000 this evening, which equates to providing 35 homeless and vulnerable #LGBTQ+ people a night of #shelter and #safety 🙏🏼 Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for all the generous donations made #theresnoplacelikehome #stonewallhousing 🏳️🌈 Claire Linacre-Hilton thank you to you and the team for entrusting me the opportunity to share my story and how Stonewall Housing once saved me. Again a sincere pleasure to speak and meet so many inspirational people Misa von Tunzelman FCIM, ❤️ Deian Jones, 🧡 Kelly Canterford MRICS 💛 Greg Curtis, 💚 Neil Granger, 💙 Farhaan Khan, 💜 Georgia Dudleston, ❤️ Joe Maloney, 🧡 Signe Sparne, 💛 Patrick Morris, 💚 Liam Drawwater, MRICS 💙 Now back on the train heading back to #London - DHS is ready for closing day of CDW24.

Our very own Lucy Smith shares her thoughts on #IDAHoBiT and why it’s important no one is left behind.

Good morning, here’s your Wednesday round-up of news and views from EG. 🏙 Westminster City Council has approved two closely-watched development proposals: Hines’s revised plans for a Soho office and retail block at 2-4 Dean Street and 7 Soho Square, W1, and CPI Property Group’s scheme at 27 Savile Row, W1, which includes a tailoring academy and workshop. 🛍 Powers to enable local authorities to put empty high street shops into rental auctions will be in force by the summer, according to Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities. The new law will be laid “shortly” in Parliament. The first rental auctions are expected to take place in September this year, and the first shop occupied and open to the public in October. 🏢 A multi-let government hub in York, which counts the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and DLUHC among its occupiers, has been sold to a family trust for £25.3m from @Standard Life Investments. The offices, which total 142,221 sq ft, previously changed hands for £43.5m in 2014. 🎧 And, you won’t want to miss EG’s latest podcast episode, in which Freehold LGBT+ CIC co-chairs Kelly Canterford MRICS and Scott Parsons speak with EG’s Jess Harrold as the sixth annual LGBTQ+ in Real Estate – Attitudes, Actions and Allies survey gets underway.

EG's Jess Harrold speaks to our co-chairs Kelly Canterford MRICS and Scott Parsons about EG's sixth annual LGBTQ+ in Real Estate – Attitudes, Actions and Allies survey, launched in association with the networking organisation. Together, they discuss the importance of the survey as one of the few sources of actual data about the LGBTQ+ community working in real estate, as well as the opportunity it offers for people to share their stories under the protection of anonymity. Canterford and Parsons explain why they believe as many people as possible should participate in the survey and share their views before the deadline on 9 June.

EG’s annual search for a special individual from somewhere within the built environment to join their award-winning Future Leaders programme has begun. They are on the hunt for at least one person to become a “wildcard” entrant to this year’s new and enhanced programme. The EG Future Leaders project, now building its 7th cohort, seeks to bring together people from under-represented groups across the real estate sector to showcase the talent, diversity, inclusion and prospects for the industry in an educational, entertaining and always emotionally uplifting way. It is a programme that EG is incredibly proud of and a project, that with the support of their partners – which this year include Clyde & Co, CBRE UK, Knight Frank and Nuveen, a TIAA company – enables them to offer at least one slot on this intensive public speaking training programme to someone who would never ordinarily be given such an invaluable opportunity. Could that person be you? Find out more and now to apply https://lnkd.in/eCyHTZfm
