Rebecca Holders, partner at hybrid agency, Hortons, has won the Rising Star award at the prestigious Women in Business Awards in Leicestershire, by Reach PLC.

Holders, who is in her early 20s, was recognised for her business success in Loughborough, Leicestershire. Having launched her business in partnership with Hortons in October 2019, she has become a well-known property industry figure in the local region.

Holders, who now has a team of six people, including three client managers, a sales negotiator and two viewings assistants, adapted her her firm’s operations in light of the pandemic to increase the brand’s online presence.

Adam Horton, Hortons CEO says: “Rebecca is an extremely talented agent. She is highly determined and focused but ultimately she really cares about her clients, and this shines through, and has helped her stand out. This achievement is very well deserved, and it’s great to see her recognised with such a prestigious award.”

He added: “Not only has Rebecca achieved incredible success in her estate agency career, but she has done so whilst investing a huge amount of time and effort into her own personal development. She takes control over her destiny and it is inspirational both to myself personally, and to the whole company”.
