Nicky Rance is crowned WLA Member of the Year 2020

It comes as no surprise that Nicky was commended in this category and awarded this title. She is currently leading the team working on our 55-93 Knightsbridge project in London; a mixed-use redevelopment behind a 120m long, Grade II listed, retained façade, providing car parking, retail and office space and luxury apartments.

Fellow WLA members were able to submit their own nominations based on who they felt has achieved significant success, breaking down barriers to overcome challenges in their day to day role.

Nicky has been a member of the WLA for over one and a half years and would highly recommend joining to those not already involved. Sandra Green is WLA’s founder whose mission is to help females break their inner and outer glass ceiling and help corporates fill their succession pipeline with talented female leaders. Sandra also coaches both male and female leaders in how to bring their best selves into work every day.

We invite you to watch the video below where Nicky highlights the benefits of the WLA membership including opportunities for learning; meeting inspirational women within the network and the opportunity to give back to charities Sandra has introduced her to.
