Susan Fitz-Gibbon becomes new ARLA president

The NAEA and ARLA have named their new incoming presidential teams.
 
Jan Hӱtch, from Arnolds Keys, Norfolk, is president of the NAEA, while Susan Fitz-Gibbon succeeds Jane Ingram at ARLA. Hӱtch succeeds Mark Hayward who has combined his role as NAEA president with his ongoing job as NAEA managing director.

Both women are inspirational. Hӱtch began her career with Arnolds in 1993 and rose through the ranks to become the first female partner in its 100-year history. Fitz-Gibbon founded London agents Fitz-Gibbon Residential in 1988, now Fitz-Gibbon, and has been a member of ARLA for 23 years.

Both are pictured – Fitz-Gibbon, who has battled with huge courage an extremely serious illness in the form of a rare bone cancer, sports the spectacles. After her diagnosis, Fitz-Gibbon founded Chordoma UK, a charity to raise money for research into the condition.

In other NFoPP appointments, London agent Simon Gerrard, managing director of Martyn Gerrard, becomes president-elect of the NAEA and Valerie Bannister, national property director at Your Move, becomes president-elect of ARLA.

Martyn Baum, of Hartleys Estate Agents in Leicestershire, becomes vice-president of the NAEA, and Peter Savage, of Landmark Estates in London’s Docklands, becomes vice-president of ARLA.

Gary Harper becomes president of the National Association of Valuers and Auctioneers (NAVA) and David Broschomb becomes chair of the Institution of Commercial and Business Agents (ICBA).
