About Peer 20 dinners

These evening events bring together young professionals to connect, encourage and inspire. Following a keynote speech from an exceptional industry leader, guests are encouraged to share their experiences and ideas, and connect with new people. 

How it works

1. We secure outstanding guest speakers to share their professional journeys over dinner.

2. We invite 10 diverse individuals from the Peer20 network.

3. Each guest invites someone interesting from their own network, reaching a total of 20 guests at the dinner, who are now part of the Peer 20 network. 

After the event, we encourage our guests to stay in touch and join the wider Peer 20 network via:

  • Lean In circles

  • Book club

  • Volunteering with partner organisations with a positive social impact

Previous speakers

We have been privileged to have many  inspirational role models speak at our  dinners over the years. These include:

  • Emma Cariaga, Joint Head of Canada Water Development at British Land

  • John Cummings, Senior Partner at McKinsey & Company and former Group Treasurer of RBS

  • David Montague CBE, Group Chief Executive of L&Q

  • Ayesha Ofori, CEO of Axion Property Partners, Black Property Network, PropElle


Testimonials

“Attending a couple of Peer 20 dinners led to my joining a Peer 20 Lean In circle, and the formation of a strong network of like-minded women. It can be hard to advocate for yourself in your career, but this group really gave me a network of peers (and now friends) to advise, advocate for, and support me in my career.”    

Annabel Koek, Grimshaw 

“I really like the format [of a Peer20 dinner] because it feels as if we are a group of friends, and at the same time learning from an outstanding real estate professional.”

Paula Gonzalez, JRA
