Property management expert
and award-winning entrepreneur.

Sue is a former Business Woman of the Year and is the Owner and Director of Carlean Lettings. She has acted as a Letting Agent and Landlord for two decades and has an in-depth knowledge of Property Management and Property Development.

As she says: “Having first started as a landlord myself some 20 years ago, I worked out exactly what a great lettings agency should be and do. With a property portfolio of my own that includes a residential block, I apply my experience in managing and advising clients on investment, that way they can confidently build their own portfolio with my support.”

Carlean clients enjoy the peace of mind that their property is being looked after as if it is owned by Sue herself. As she always says: “My aim is to help landlords sleep better at night!”

Breakthrough Women was originally set up in 2016 and is now owned and managed by Deborah Turner and Sue Hainsby. They both believe that female role models play an integral part in inspiring other women and raising their visibility in the workplace.

Their events are not about positive discrimination or demonising men, but to show that real achievement in business is possible for working women no matter how many responsibilities they’re juggling. The aim is to encourage more women to have the confidence to strive for business success.

Since Sue has been involved the Breakthrough Women movement has grown to include network events across Kent and a member WhatsApp support group. There are also business masterclasses and their acclaimed mini-MBA course.
