Coventry-based commercial property agency Holt Commercial has appointed Gemma Hawley as its new commercial property manager.

Gemma joined the company after selling her own residential letting business – Maverick Homes – which she ran for six years dealing, mainly, with homes of multiple occupancy. That came after spending nearly ten years in recruitment.

She said: “I am delighted to join Holt Commercial. The company has a very strong regional reputation for its quality of service and its experienced advice.

“On the property management side we are, essentially, looking after a landlord’s asset so they have to be confident that we will be diligent in everything we do on their behalf.

“My background is property and it’s something I am passionate about. After selling my own business I was going to take some time out but then this opportunity came along and I jumped at it.”

Nick Holt, director of Holt Commercial, said: “We are pleased to have Gemma on board. We want to continue to grow in 2023 and we see the property management side of the agency as an important part of that.”
