With our AGM taking place at Pinsent Masons office, who kindly sponsored the event. It has been a great privilege to lead the Midlands Branch for the past 12 months and I am pleased to announce that Kelly McDonnell will be taking the reins as Branch Chairman from 1st March 2020.

Kelly has some very exciting events planned for the Branch and our Education Roadshow, so it will be another vibrant year for Women in Property Midlands and we hope you continue to join us! I would like to thank Kelly and the Midlands Committee for all their support and to ISG plc for joining us as our Regional Student Awards Sponsor.

I would also like to thank our event sponsors (DUAL North America, WYG Group, The Coal Authority, Irwin Mitchell, Pegasus Group, First Title, Michael Page Property, CarneySweeney, and Pinsent Masons) along with our members and everyone who has joined us for an event over the past 12 months.

Thank you also to CarneySweeney and WYG Group for supporting me in my role as Branch Chairman (and previously Vice Chairman). I'm looking forward to continuing on the Midlands Committee and hopefully see you at an event very soon.
