» Turning the spotlight on the rising stars

AWARD-WINNING distillers, tea entreprene­urs, IT consultant­s and even a global fashion mogul were all on Gloucester­shire Live’s inaugural 30 under 30 list last year - and now it’s your turn.

In 2019 we turned the spotlight on the rising stars of Gloucester­shire business with our 30 under 30 list, sponsored by the University of Gloucester­shire.

It showcased talented businesspe­ople and employees from across the county and in a wide range of industries, from a bakery and barbecue sauce company, to social media, accountanc­y and even a head chef.

We listed Gloucester­shire names such as Ash White of Hera and the siblings behind Sibling Distillery, but this year could be your turn as we’re opening up nomination­s.

Last year, Janina Neumann of Janina Neumann Design was one of the young businesspe­ople included.

She said at the time that she was delighted to be on the 30 under 30 list and added: “I hope it inspires other young people to fulfil their potential and break the expectatio­n you have to have a job before you can start your own business.”

If you’ve been inspired to start your own business, or have helped to see your employer through a tough period of lockdown, the nnominate yourself now for this year’s 30 under 30 list.

This year every person who makes the final list will automatica­lly be entered into the longlist for the Gloucester­shire Business Awards Young Business Person of the Year Award, which will be held later this year.

The business must be based in Gloucester­shire and the nominee must be aged under 30 or 30 (if they started their business before their 30th birthday).
