Meet Mel & Holly from Butcher Residential
In recognition of International Women’s Day, the HD8 Network is shining a spotlight on one of our incredible female-led businesses.
HD8 Network member Butcher Residential Estate Agents is a well-known and respected estate agency in these parts, handling sales, lettings, commercial properties, and land.
However, did you know that the Denby Dale office, which focuses on property sales, is run by two amazing women?
Meet Mel Peel & Holly Butcher – The Power Duo of Butcher Residential
Mel and Holly have worked side by side for the past six years, forming a partnership so strong they even refer to each other as their “work wife.”
When Merewyn from the HD8 Network visited the Denby Dale branch this week to conduct Butcher Residential’s monthly Member Success Session, Holly shared that “Being an estate agent can be incredibly stressful. One minute, we’re deep in negotiations or facing unexpected challenges, and the next, we’re celebrating a customer finding their dream home. I don’t know if I could do it without Mel around the office!”
Mel who is from Scissett and the Branch Manager added “We fill in the gaps for each other and know exactly when to pick each other up or give a little motivation when it’s needed.”
It was truly fab to see the chemistry and respect that was shared between them!
Women Supporting Women in Property
The property industry has traditionally been male-dominated, but women like Mel and Holly are proving that hard work, resilience, and teamwork make all the difference. Their dedication to helping people buy and sell homes in HD8 and beyond has earned them a reputation for expertise, care, and professionalism.
On International Women’s Day, we celebrate not just Mel and Holly, but all the amazing women shaping the business world—supporting each other and making a real impact in their communities.
