Jan Boothroyd - A true Local Land Charges legend

It is with great sadness that we share the news our friend and colleague, Jan Boothroyd has sadly passed away following a brave battle with cancer.

Jan dedicated her life and career to championing the role of local land charge (LLC) professionals within councils and in the wider land, property and homebuying sectors. For over 40 years Jan worked to improve and modernise the way local land searches were managed and trained and mentored hundreds of LLC officers.

Jan was affectionately referred to as the “Work Mother” by her colleagues in local government - she was always at the end of the phone for anyone who needed help, advice, or reassurance. She was a natural, charismatic leader – her quick wit, sharp sense of humour and unrivalled knowledge, drew everyone to her. She was highly respected and always respected others.

 Jan was a force of nature in the local land charge community, and in life. She will be sadly missed, and very fondly remembered.
