Our blogs and news stories tend to focus on contract wins, services, and celebrating our fantastic team through our Employees of the Month posts. However, we are delighted to celebrate our Managing Director, Rebecca Bell, today. Rebecca has been named as a Winner in Management Today’s 35 Women Under 35 awards.
For more than 25 years, Management Today has championed women in leadership through its prestigious annual list. This year’s winners come from across the business world, from lawtech to education. Every year, the winning cohorts are celebrated for achieving extraordinary things so far, and for what is still to come!
Rebecca recently attended a photoshoot in Knightsbridge, where she met the other 34 inspiring women chosen in 2026.
Management Today has now published the details of the 35 winners, including a summary of what each has done and why they inspired the judging panel. Here’s what they had to say about Rebecca:
In the last 12 months, Bell has reset Spectrum’s strategic direction with a clear focus on sustainable growth, operational excellence and people-centred leadership. Under her stewardship, the business has delivered strong commercial results, including key contract extensions, new business wins and a healthy forward pipeline supporting ambitious growth projections for 2026.
Spectrum has also received significant external recognition, including ROCCO awards for ‘Environmental Sustainability’ and ‘Outstanding Performing Business’, and finalist status in the Northern Star Business Awards.
Beyond her role within Spectrum, Bell sits on the board of Renfrewshire Chamber of Commerce, working collaboratively with fellow business leaders to support local enterprise, skills development and positive outcomes for the wider community.
Speaking about the award, Spectrum’s Commercial Director, Cara Duff said:
“We are all delighted to celebrate Rebecca’s success. Normally, it’s Rebecca who champions the team’s work, so it’s great to be able to talk about her. Rebecca’s leadership and her focus on the people in the business have been suitably rewarded by being named alongside some of the best talent under 35 in the UK.
Since assuming the role of Managing Director, Rebecca has developed and overseen the implementation of our new strategy, which focuses on creating an environment where people can flourish; her drive and commitment are paying dividends through continued growth and exceptional service delivery.
“I know I speak for the entire team at Spectrum when I say congratulations, we are delighted about the well-deserved recognition to be named in such a prestigious annual award.”
