Melissa Baldwin is a finalist for Woman of the Year, whilst Carrie Howey is a finalist in the Unsung Hero category.

Catella APAM is proud to maintain a workforce with an equal gender balance, reflecting its commitment to fostering a diverse, inclusive and supportive workplace.

Melissa Baldwin, Catella APAM’s Joint-Managing Director, has demonstrated exceptional leadership and strategic vision throughout her eight-year career at Catella APAM. Melissa has expanded the company’s service offerings and established multiple entities, ensuring robust operational frameworks. Her hands-on approach and dedication to operational excellence have resulted in significant cost savings and enhanced efficiency across the Catella APAM Group. Melissa’s leadership in DE&I and her commitment to mentoring future leaders have further solidified her reputation as a role model and an exceptional figure in the UK real estate industry.

Carrie Howey, Operations Data Manager, has been instrumental in championing wellbeing and DE&I initiatives across Catella APAM. Over her four-year tenure, Carrie has launched several impactful programmes, including the ‘Tea & Talk’ sessions aimed at fostering a safe space to talk about mental health and well-being. Her efforts have significantly contributed to the positive workplace environment at Catella APAM. Carrie has also been pivotal in establishing the company’s DE&I committee and has driven numerous charitable initiatives.

Simon Cooke, Founding Director of Catella APAM, praised Melissa’s impact: “Melissa’s contribution to the success of Catella APAM is often not fully understood as she plays such an unassuming role modestly within the business, but her impact has been enormous. She thoroughly deserves to be recognised for her ongoing role within the business and for being an ambassador for women in the industry.”

Carrie’s contributions have also been widely recognised within the company. Samantha Collins, Client Accountant at Catella APAM, noted: “Carrie goes over and above in every aspect of her work life. Her initiatives have promoted overall wellbeing and inclusivity. Due to her efforts, my colleagues and I are extremely thankful to be part of a vast support network at a company where diversity is both accepted and celebrated.”
