An interview with Sue Winterbourne, corporate success director at property services firm Leaders Romans Group is presented. Winterbourne said that I started as a trainee negotiator in 1994 at Townsend. I was there until 2004, when I left as an area manager. I then joined Countrywide as an area manager and left in 2014 as a lettings director. I joined Romans in 2014 and went from being an area manager to a lettings director, to my current role as corporate success director. When I started in the industry, women and lettings did not get much or any respect--it was very much a boys' club. You had to work smarter to make the right impact. I have previously been told by a line manager that it was my job to make the coffee as I have small feet and that I only got a deal as I have boobs.
