Co-organiser Nadine Coleman said: “We were thrilled with the success of our first Ladies in Property Suffolk (LiPS) and by popular demand, we are back with a second event.

“It proved hugely popular with the attendees the first time round and the turn-out was fantastic, it’s brilliant to see women in the sector gathering to support each other and celebrate our industry.”

Jacqueline Cumiskey, who also organised the event, added: “We set up the group because we wanted to organise a networking opportunity where ladies in the industry can gather together, learn from each other and forge new relationships. We’re absolutely delighted that it’s fulfilling the function that we intended it for.”

The role of the LiPS group is to provide regular networking events, and to promote roles in the industry to young female students, supporting the national campaign #notjustforboys.
