Practicalities of Running Service Charge Accounts - Part 1

Real Estate has long been described as an industry built on tradition, a sector which has been slow to adopt change and embrace ‘Diversity and Inclusion’ to its heart, but things are changing.

The demands of clients and attitudes of property users and the workforce, coupled with high profile movements like #metoo, #timesup and #blacklivesmatter has shone the spotlight on inclusion. People want to work in places where everyone feels included. Places where people can bring their authentic selves to work and thrive.  

Kelly is a Diversity and Inclusion Specialist and Executive Coach; she has been helping people and businesses create positive change that sticks for over 20 years.  
With a career that has spanned media, sales and hospitality she joined the property industry at King Sturge before qualifying as a chartered surveyor a few years later as the firm merged with JLL.
