Watts Commercial Finance sponsors Hard Hats to Heels to support women in property and construction
Specialist finance broker Watts Commercial Finance has announced its sponsorship for the Hard Hats to Heels network, which supports women in property and construction.
The advice firm will sponsor the organisation’s regional and flagship events, including its Hard Hats to Heels Retreat, which is expected to bring together more than 100 women from across the property and construction sectors.
The network hosts 26 events every month, with more than 1,000 women across the UK, to promote increased visibility, confidence and opportunities for women working across the sectors.
The retreat is focused on the message ‘Visibility in Action. Impact by Design’ to demonstrate that when women are seen, supported and given the confidence to develop, they will see more opportunities.
Hard Hats to Heels is led by Hayley and Paul Andrews, and the relationship with Watts Commercial Finance started with an initial introduction between Hayley and Rebecca Blaymires, commercial manager, along with Mark Jerman, senior commercial officer at Watts Commercial Finance.
Blaymires said: “Working with Hayley and the Hard Hats to Heels team is something I’m incredibly passionate about. What they have created goes far beyond networking; they provide a genuine platform for women to be visible, build confidence, make meaningful connections and create opportunities.

“I’m also hugely grateful to Mark for making that initial introduction. From that first connection, the relationship has continued to grow, and I’m incredibly proud that Watts Commercial is now supporting Hard Hats to Heels on a much wider scale. Sponsoring 17 events, including the October Retreat, gives us the opportunity to actively support the work they are doing and be part of creating a lasting impact across the industry.”
