Bell & Co Estates Founder Recognised with Influential Women in Business 2026 Award for Sales

The founder of Bell & Co Estates has been recognised with the Influential Women in Business 2026 Award for Sales, celebrating her outstanding contribution to the property industry and her commitment to delivering a people-first approach in an often transactional sector.

Her journey began with a passion for property and a determination to improve the experience people receive when buying and selling their homes. After working within the industry and witnessing the challenges many clients faced, she recognised an opportunity to offer something different.

 

“My journey began with a passion for property and a desire to offer people a better experience when buying and selling their homes. Having worked within the industry, I saw first-hand how transactional estate agency could sometimes become and felt there was room for a more personal, honest and proactive approach.”

That vision became the foundation of Bell & Co Estates, where relationship-building, exceptional service and transparency remain central to the company’s success. Through consistency, resilience and authenticity, the business has established itself as a trusted name within the local property market.

A strong focus on client care, coupled with high professional standards and a willingness to continuously adapt within an evolving industry, has enabled the company to grow primarily through referrals and recommendations.

Like many entrepreneurs, the journey has not been without its challenges. Navigating an unpredictable property market while managing the demands of business ownership has required determination and perseverance. Setbacks, including failed transactions and unexpected obstacles, have been viewed as opportunities for learning and growth, helping to strengthen both the business and its leadership.

One of the key messages she shares with aspiring female entrepreneurs is the importance of self-belief and action. 

She encourages women to trust their instincts, pursue their ambitions despite uncertainty, and understand that growth often comes through experience rather than perfection. Learning through mistakes and remaining committed to personal development have been important elements of her own success.

At the heart of Bell & Co Estates is a genuine passion for helping people through one of the most significant decisions of their lives. Whether assisting clients in finding their dream home, supporting families through complex moves, helping homeowners downsize, or guiding people towards a new chapter, the human aspect of the business remains its greatest reward.

Among her proudest achievements is building Bell & Co Estates into a respected and recognised brand from the ground up. Launching a business without financial backing required immense dedication, belief and hard work. Today, the company’s reputation, positive client feedback and standing within the local community stand as a testament to that commitment.

Looking ahead, the focus remains firmly on sustainable growth while maintaining the high standards of service that have defined the business from the beginning. Plans include embracing emerging technologies and innovative marketing strategies, creating new opportunities within the company, and further strengthening Bell & Co Estates’ position as one of the area’s leading independent estate agencies.

There have been occasions when the pressures of business ownership felt overwhelming, but the achievements of the company, the clients it has supported and the progress made over the years have continually provided renewed motivation.

“There have certainly been moments when the pressure of running a business felt overwhelming. However, every time I considered whether it was worth it, I looked at how far I had come, the clients we had helped and the team and business we had built.”

Winning the Influential Women in Business 2026 Award for Sales has provided an opportunity for reflection as well as renewed inspiration. The recognition has reinforced the belief that hard work, passion and perseverance are worthwhile and has strengthened the ambition to continue raising standards within the industry.

Throughout her career, she has drawn inspiration from a wide range of people, including colleagues, clients, family members and fellow business owners. The most valuable lesson she has learned is that relationships matter. Success is not measured solely by numbers, but by trust, reputation and the positive impact made on the people served.

This latest accolade recognises not only professional achievement but also a commitment to integrity, community and putting people at the centre of every property journey, a philosophy that continues to drive Bell & Co Estates forward.
