REBECCA Simpson – policy officer with Keighley social housing group Incommunities – has been shortlisted for a sought-after award.

She has made the final ten in the national 24housing Young Leaders competition.

The 25-year-old won through following an online public vote.

Rebecca will now give a presentation to an expert panel at the National Housing Federation in London.

Geraldine Howley, Incommunities’ group chief executive said: “Everyone is thrilled to see Rebecca make the top ten shortlist.

“She has blossomed as a potential ‘future leader’ through our GEM programme and in her day-to-day work.

“Rebecca is an ambitious young housing professional who embraces the values of the organisation and is passionate about improving customers’ lives.”

The competition winner will be announced later this year.
