Upcoming event information
We are pleased to announce Ipswich Town Football Club is hosting our 13th event on Tuesday October 10 at 5.30pm.
​
The evening will begin with guest speaker Rich Carpenter, the football club’s Head of Operations, who will provide an overview of the stadium's history, recent property-related events and plans for the future.
​
Our second speaker is Clare Yelland (née Friel), who recently featured in Suffolk Director magazine and was named in the Top 100 Most Influential Women in Construction 2022.
​
Our third speaker is Julija of Lana’s Holistic Centre. She will share her tips on leading a healthier and happier life – as well as the importance of psychology in our daily lives and how it affects our reactions and perceptions.
​
There will also be a short feature from Kate, the Co-Founder of Hey Girls. Hey Girls is an award-winning ‘buy one, donate one’ social enterprise, producing environmentally-friendly period products that fund the fight to end period poverty in the UK.
​
Kate leads Hey Girls’ education team and is dedicated to improving people’s knowledge about periods to help end the stigma.
​
And if that isn't exciting enough, the team at Ipswich Town Football Club will also be giving us a short tour of the stadium!
​
Tickets can be booked via Eventbrite here.
​
Acknowledging that life sometimes gets in the way, we ask that if you book a ticket but find that you are not able to attend, please release the ticket to allow for it to be reallocated.
​
Thank you to our host venue sponsor Ipswich Town Football Club, refreshment sponsor Construction Anglia and marketing partner Prominent PR for their support in putting this event together.

What is LiPS?
Ladies in Property Suffolk was created by Jacqueline Cumiskey, an employee at IPSERV Ltd, Ipswich Borough Council & Group Companies along with Nadine Coleman who wanted to provide a networking space for women in the construction industry and give them the opportunity to form strategic business relationships and alliances.
​
The goal of LiPS is to continuously provide regular networking events, promote roles in the industry to young female women and impart knowledge via keynote speakers to the attendees of the bi-annual meetings.
​
LiPS launched in Spring 2015 at the Council Chamber offices Endeavour House and since then have met at iconic buildings often including a tour of the property. The event has grown to an attendance of 60 women across more than 40 companies and continues to grow.
​
All women working in the construction, property, land, and facilities management sector are welcome and invited to attend the networking events held.
​
“We want to continue to reach out to young women and help give them the courage to break from gender roles."
