This week on the podcast, we’re thrilled to have Valerie Bannister, National Property Director at Your Move, joining us for the latest episode in our "My Life in Lettings" series. Valerie's 40-year career at LSL Land & New Homes is nothing short of inspiring. Her positive attitude and dedication have led her from humble beginnings—losing an earring in her first interview and working out of a cleaning cupboard— to becoming ARLA Propertymark President and winning the Sunday Times Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Lettings Sector! ✨

In this episode, Heidi and Valerie discuss; Valerie’s start in the property sector, how the industry has transformed over the last 40 years, navigating a career as a driven woman in the 80s, predictions for the Renters' Rights Bill and industry reactions, Valerie’s go-to ways to relax and unwind and the key people who made a difference in her journey

This is an inspirational story filled with valuable insights—perfect for your morning commute. And be sure to stick around for the story of the interview disaster that launched Valerie's incredible career! ✨
