‘More women should be speaking at property conferences’
Angharad Trueman, ARLA Propertymark President and Andrews lettings boss, says more female voices need to be heard at industry gatherings.

Women’s voices may be heard in thousands of estate agency branches every day but too few feature in national, local and industry blogs and property conferences, it has been highlighted.
The comment comes from Angharad Trueman, Head of Lettings at Andrews Property Group and the current ARLA Propertymark President.
Trueman and the Women in Property group are calling for change. To that end, for 2025 they have published a fresh list of female industry spokespeople waiting in the wings.
She says the aim is that the list amplifies the voices of women in the property industry by highlighting those who are experienced and knowledgeable in various aspects of property, offering a platform to promote diversity and inclusion at industry events, panels, and conferences.
Meaningful
The list serves as a resource for event organisers seeking to feature women speakers, ensuring broader representation and driving meaningful conversations in the property sector, Trueman says.
This second edition of the list includes several new names not listed on the first and categories with women featured hailing from estate agency but also property investment, marketing, training, suppliers and build to rent.
Categorised into these sections, each woman on the list has a short bio informing you of their background and specialisms and all women can be contacted through LinkedIn.
“The 2024 list was well received and it was great to see if being put so use across our industry,” says Trueman.
“We still have a large amount of work to do when it comes to diversity within the property industry, especially at senior levels.
“Despite the creation of this easy-to-use tool, during 2024 we still saw many regular podcasts and conference panel line ups being made up of entirely one gender only.
“This is disappointing and means either the hosts are unaware of this list, or they simply do not care.
“As women we see this behaviour and we do not accept it. Failing to have diverse voices speaking for our sector means you risk alienating half of your audience straight away.”
