Jodie Day Recognised as an Influential Woman in Business 2026 Following Remarkable Entrepreneurial Journey

Jodie Day, founder of Days Lettings, has been named an Influential Woman in Business 2026 in recognition of her outstanding leadership, entrepreneurial spirit, and unwavering commitment to raising standards within the lettings industry.

Building a successful independent lettings agency from the ground up, Jodie has earned a reputation for delivering exceptional service to landlords and tenants while fostering a workplace built on integrity, teamwork, and professionalism. Her journey is one defined by resilience, determination, and the courage to challenge expectations.

Launching her own business at just 26 years old was a bold decision, particularly after being told that her age would prevent her from succeeding. Rather than allowing those doubts to discourage her, they became the very motivation that fuelled her ambition.

“After helping set up another company, I soon realised I wanted one of my own. At the age of 26, I did exactly that, despite being told I couldn’t do it, and I’ve never looked back. While many of my friends were out socialising, I was focused on building my own empire.”

That determination has become the foundation of Days Lettings, an independent agency renowned for its tailored approach, transparent service, and commitment to providing quality homes for quality tenants. Under Jodie’s leadership, the business has continued to grow while maintaining a highly personal and hands-on approach that has earned the trust of landlords and tenants alike.

For Jodie, success has never been measured solely by business growth. She credits her achievements to consistency, resilience, hard work, and an unwavering belief in her vision.

Throughout every stage of her journey, she has remained committed to her core values of honesty, integrity, discipline, and leading by example. As a hands-on leader, she works alongside her team, believing that earning respect means being willing to do the same work she asks of others.

Challenges have inevitably been part of the entrepreneurial journey, but Jodie has always viewed setbacks as opportunities rather than obstacles. By staying focused on her long-term vision and remembering why she started, she transformed moments of doubt into motivation, emerging stronger with every challenge she faced.

One of the aspects of her work she values most is seeing the positive impact her business has on both clients and colleagues.

Watching her team develop, creating meaningful career opportunities, and achieving shared goals together continue to be among her greatest sources of pride. For Jodie, building a successful business has always been about more than personal achievement; it has been about creating something that benefits others.

Among her proudest accomplishments is not only establishing her own company despite early scepticism but also creating a thriving business that reflects her values and work ethic. That journey is now entering an exciting new chapter as Days Lettings prepares to open another office, marking a significant milestone in the company’s continued expansion and creating further opportunities for growth and development.

Winning the Influential Woman in Business 2026 award represents another important milestone in that journey, recognising years of dedication and perseverance while providing renewed motivation for the future.

“Winning this award has been a proud and meaningful moment for me. It has reinforced that the hard work, sacrifices, and belief in my vision have been worthwhile. It has also motivated me to aim even higher, continue growing the business, and inspire others to believe that with determination and resilience, anything is possible.”

Reflecting on the advice she would offer aspiring female entrepreneurs, Jodie encourages women to believe in themselves, trust their instincts, and never allow the opinions of others to define their potential. She believes success comes from having the courage to take the first step, embracing continuous learning, and remaining resilient through every challenge.

Looking back, Jodie credits her greatest influence not to any one individual, but to the lessons learned through her own experiences. Every challenge, setback, and success has helped shape the leader she is today, reinforcing her belief that with the right mindset, unwavering determination, and consistent hard work, extraordinary achievements are within reach.

As Days Lettings continues to expand and strengthen its presence, Jodie Day remains committed to delivering exceptional service while inspiring others to pursue their ambitions with confidence, resilience, and purpose.
