Industry organisation, Women in Estate Agency (WiEA), has announced the launch of its new Charter Membership programme, an upcoming rebrand and the launch of ‘The WiEA Pod’ podcast series.

The Charter Membership programme offers organisations and individuals the opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to inclusivity, leadership, and excellence within the estate agency industry all year round, not just around key events such as the WiEA Conference.

Charter Members will be recognised as champions of gender equality, actively supporting the organisation’s mission to empower women of all backgrounds to develop, grow, and achieve their full potential. A subscription fee has been introduced for membership.

“This is a pivotal moment for WiEA,” says Clare Hughes, Co-Founder. “The Charter Membership solidifies our mission to unite the industry in creating a more equitable environment. It’s about recognising and celebrating those organisations that are not only committed to our values but are also taking concrete steps to support the advancement of women.”

Fresh look

WiEA is also working on a rebrand, which will include a dynamic new visual identity reflecting WiEA’s strengthening voice, amplifying its message, and further empowering women in estate agency.

“We’re incredibly excited to introduce our rebrand,” adds Verona Frankish, WiEA Chair. “This isn’t just a cosmetic change; it’s a reflection of our growth and the evolving needs of our community. We believe the new brand will enable us to connect even more effectively and powerfully with our members and the wider industry.”

To support the strengthening of its physical voice, ‘The WiEA Pod’ is set to be launched soon too, with listeners invited to hear engaging and insightful conversations with both big names and unsung heroes from the property industry.

“The WiEA Pod” promises to deliver regular doses of inspiration, empowerment, and opportunities to connect, furthering WiEA’s commitment to positive change.

Kirsty Franks, WiEA Committee Member, shared the excitement around the upcoming podcast: “The WiEA Pod promises to be an invaluable resource, offering insights from both the celebrated leaders shaping the property sector and the unsung heroes making a tangible impact every day.

“We’re having conversations with industry giants and those quietly demonstrating resilience and driving change behind the scenes. Our aim is to deliver a podcast that not only inspires with well-known success stories but also illuminates the less visible journeys and crucial contributions within our community.”

These initiatives all signal the ongoing growth and influence of WiEA and the positive impact it is having on the future of women in estate agency.
