ALL five sponsors have now been announced for the first Next Generation Business Awards.
Forward-thinking training and coaching consultancy Beyond Theory was first to back the inaugural event, followed by leading law firm EMW Law LLP, event management professionals Giggabox, software specialist Business Data Group and IT security experts Rapid GRC.
Next Generation Business Awards will recognise the talent and dedication of the next generation of business leaders who work in all sectors across Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes.
The awards will be presented to inspiring young people whose achievements are making an impressive impact in their chosen field.
The five categories are Creative Sector Star of the Year, Hospitality Star of the Year, Service Industry Star of the Year, Milton Keynes Star of the Year, and Northamptonshire Star of the Year.
The awards can be entered by individuals or a company can complete the entry on behalf of an employee or colleague.
Next Generation Chamber was established in 2017 by Northamptonshire Chamber and Milton Keynes Chamber to help young professionals who are dedicated to advancing their careers through personal development and networking.
Northamptonshire/Milton Keynes Chamber chief executive Paul Griffiths said: “Entries have been flooding in for our first ever Next Generation Business Awards. I am thrilled by the response we have had to this already, with hopefuls filling in our online entry form on the day that the awards were launched.
“We are very excited to be able to use this platform to recognise the future business leaders in our area, who are already making a huge difference in their chosen field.
“These millennials are young and ambitious, dedicated and hardworking and deserve to be recognised for their talent and – perhaps more importantly – their effort and perseverance.
“We are most grateful to the five sponsors for investing in our Awards and for showing their support to the next generation of those professionals who will shape our local economy in the years ahead.”
The Next Generation Business Awards will culminate with an awards ceremony and dinner on 5 July 2019. Entries are open now and close on 12 April.
