SOMERSET Chamber of Commerce is calling on businesses, charities and other organisations to shine a light on the county’s next generation of talent as nominations open for a new award scheme.
Nominations opened on July 6 to find the 30 outstanding young professionals aged under 30 who are already making a meaningful impact across Somerset.
The Somerset Future 30 awards is a fresh and forward-looking initiative designed to recognise emerging leaders in business, innovation and community impact.
Entrants must be aged 30 or under and be employed or self-employed for an organisation based in Somerset.
Unlike traditional awards, the programme will spotlight a group of individuals, celebrating those who are helping to shape Somerset’s future.
All entries will be judged by an independent panel of local business leaders who will be looking for people who go beyond expectations, demonstrate ambition and create real impact in their workplace or community.
Managing director of Somerset Chamber of Commerce, David Crew, said: “We are launching The Somerset Future 30 to recognise the incredible young people already making a difference right here in our county.
“We know there is exceptional talent across Somerset and this is an opportunity to celebrate those who are driving change, showing leadership and shaping the future of our economy.
“I encourage businesses of all sizes, as well as individuals, to put forward nominations and help us showcase the very best of Somerset’s emerging leaders.”
The Somerset Chamber of Commerce has worked with creative partner Hatched Agency to develop the programme’s branding and website and leading businesses Barclays, Elite Staffing Solutions and Yeovil College have already confirmed their support as sponsors.
Nominations must be submitted online via the awards website before the closing date of August 14.
