Search is on to track down best business talents
NOMINATE NOW FOR HUMBER 30 UNDER 30
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.
