Marcelle Speller

Founder and executive chairman

Holiday-Rentals.com

Marcelle co-founded Holiday-Rentals.com, Europe’s leading website for advertising private holiday homes, in 1996. Following its sale, Marcelle was inspired to found Localgiving.com after attending a workshop at the Institute for Philanthropy. The not-for-profit organisation was founded in 2008 by Marcelle Speller in partnership with the UK Community Foundations and aims to help individuals find and donate to local charities more easily via Localgiving.com’s charity search engine. The company also helps smaller charities to be sustainable by providing them with access to an online marketing and donation process.
