International Women’s Day
International Women’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate women’s achievements and the theme for 2023 is #EmbraceEquity.
To mark the occasion, we’re celebrating the diverse team of women working across the Estate and discovering a little more about each of them.
MEET THE TEAM
De Beauvoir Block receptionist Becky is a former art and design student making her a perfect fit for the creative world at The Block, an interest she nurtures by regularly visiting art exhibitions across London with her Art Pass.
Residential Lettings Manager Bianca’s has responsibility for ensuring our housing portfolio is managed smoothly. Home life is equally busy, as she creates memories with her young family on days out across London.
Digital Presence Manager Iveta has built up extensive knowledge of De Beauvoir Town and loves to share the stories of our tenants. She can often be found exploring green spaces in the local area or taking longer hikes with her family's dog Rusty.
Jennifer is our Head of Landscaping and, outside of work, she is a member of local choir, HERD, led by Georgia Duncan, who she says is a wonderfully gifted and inspiring teacher and musician. The Tuesday practice sessions are the highlight of Jennifer’s week!
Our Accounts Manager since 2015, Kathleen enjoys the family-feel of working at the Estate and that every day is refreshingly different. When not at her desk, she likes to keep active at the gym.
The newest member of our team Roxy is Building Manager for the De Beauvoir Block and she takes a hands-on approach to the management of the building. Roxy enjoys losing herself in a good book, as well as playing with her daughter, Hope.
A key figure in our property maintenance team is Sheanay. An avid reader, and having exceeded her 30 book target for 2022 by reading 35, she has set herself the challenge to read 40 books in 2023.

A party powered by Gusty the wind turbine
It’s always good to host a party – but the event held on Benyon Estate land on Monday (November 4th) was a party with a purpose! In partnership with Octopus Energy and the pro-growth campaign group, Britain Remade, we welcomed journalists and guests from the energy sector to a Turbine Build Party to demonstrate the technology needed to tackle climate change.
Albers in the news
Congratulations to Albers – one of our fantastic foodie tenants – who has been hitting the headlines with good news since the opening of its new café on Englefield Road earlier this summer.
Gusty the wind turbine coming soon...
The Benyon Estate is supporting a campaign to help remove planning barriers for the creation of new clean energy in urban areas. As a result of this there is a trial taking place on the yard at the rear of 62 and 64 Southgate Road.
