Rebecca Hopwood

I joined the Realm team at the start of 2017 as an administrator and since then I have progressed to the role of Office Manager and Head of Support, leading the support team and managing the day-to-day smooth running of the business.

My role involves driving wellbeing initiatives, onboarding new employees, heaps of correspondence, arranging team events, creating management data spreadsheets, and creating the company handbook.

I have completed my CIPD Level 5 in HR Management and ILM Level 5 in Leadership and Management.

In November 2018, I won the award for PA/ EA or Business Support of the Year at JCI Manchester’s Manchester Young Talent Awards.

In February 2022, I was Highly Commended in the Business Support Professional of the Year category at the Made in Manchester Awards.
