Launched in January 2023 by Charlotte Gilfillan, a Highland-based Land Agent, and Hannah Lloyd, an Ayrshire-based Business Development Manager, the Women in Wellies Podcast features guests sharing their stories, experiences, and lessons, including personal and professional challenges they’ve faced and overcome. Over the last 25 episodes, Charlotte and Hannah have engaged in conversations with a diverse range of women, from crofters to foresters, luxury accommodation providers to veterinarians. In 2024, they introduced a new series featuring next-gen guests.

Hannah Lloyd, co-founder of Women in Wellies, commented, “We’re delighted to have secured the support of Savills Rural Team as we continue to grow and develop the podcast and the Women in Wellies brand. The podcast was born from our shared love of rural Scotland and passion to highlight the opportunities rural Scotland presents for the next generation. Over the past 14 months we have seen the stories and themes resonate with a broad spectrum of listeners while raising awareness of some important causes and initiatives.”

The partnership’s first podcast episode will air on International Women’s Day, featuring Kim Cameron, multi-award-winning entrepreneur and owner of Gin Bothy at Glamis in Angus. Savills Natural Capital Director Lucy Jenner will be interviewed for an episode airing on April 5th.

Savills Natural Capital Director Lucy Jenner expressed her excitement, stating, “Savills is delighted to sponsor the Women in Wellies podcast. Personally I was really honoured to be asked to join the impressive roster of women who are helping to lift the lid on the diverse and exciting nature of working life in rural Scotland by telling their stories. Through Women in Wellies, Charlotte and Hannah are doing a fantastic job of sharing the many wonderful causes, initiatives and challenges women in the rural sector are taking on.’’

Charlotte Gilfillan, co-founder of Women in Wellies, added, “The response we have had to the podcast so far has been overwhelming, and we now have a community of thousands. Having support from a global brand like Savills will allow us to grow that community further and help inspire more people, especially the next generation of rural women in Scotland’’.
