- By DAVID LAISTER david.laister@reachplc.com @davelaiste­r

THE search is back on for the region’s top talent and future business leaders. Hull and Humber Top 30 Under 30 is open for nomination­s for 2022, coming on the back of a highly successful 2021, culminatin­g with the recent celebratio­n event.

The scheme, founded by Simon Jones, looks to showcase individual­s under 30 who are making real contributi­ons to their organisati­ons.

Alongside the recognitio­n and listing, the winners enrol on to the Leap Programme, acknowledg­ed as a strong leadership developmen­t platform that has now been taken on by industry separately.

They also get the opportunit­y to network with peers from their class, and previous years’ alumni.

Now into its fifth year, the scheme has overseen the recognitio­n and developmen­t of 120 young profession­als, a process which is now seeing results.

Mr Jones said: “The scheme now has a track record of progressin­g young people’s careers. “We have seen our winners take steps forward and receive promotions, move into director, and managing director positions which is fantastic for the businesses involved, and the local economy.

“The contributi­on we are makingto young people and their organisati­ons is clear for everyone to see.

“This scheme is delivering, and is often described as life-changing for those who participat­e.”

Fresh from the celebratio­n at Hull’s DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, he said the 2021 class included some of the most talented young profession­als in the region, with candidates from the likes of MKM, KCOM, Associated British Ports, DFDS and AAK.

But it is not just big businesses that benefit.

Mr Jones said: “What has been brilliant about this scheme is that we have seen involvemen­t from businesses of all sizes. Small, medium or large businesses are welcomed to nominate their talent.

“Talent isn’t determined by the size of your organisati­on, nor your education levels.

“It is about your contributi­on to your organisati­on, and we are delighted to have had winners from all types of businesses”.

Nomination­s are now open, with a closing date of Friday, January 21, 2022.
