Five reasons why you should want to be the Young Business Person of the Year
After the exciting announcement of The Business Magazine’s new Hampshire Business Awards coming to the region in November, there’s a building buzz around the upcoming event.
With a whole host of trophies to be won across every sector of business, one of the most hotly contested categories is sure to be the Young Business Person of the Year.
Sponsored by headline sponsor Farnborough Airport, this award will be presented to an individual who has shown exceptional promise and potential, with a clear vision for the future and a commitment to making a positive impact on society.
We’ve done more than enough events in the past to know that awards offering recognition to young business people are always a crowd favourite.
Alison Broderick from Savills UK, who was named Young Property Person of the Year at the South Coast Property Awards in 2022, said ‘It was an absolute honour to win. I feel the need to make sure younger people coming up can see that there is diversity here, partly as a woman in the industry.’
So what are the benefits of winning beyond taking home the trophy?
Here are five reasons that you should enter to become the Young Business Person of the Year:
Be defined as a leader – when deciding a winner for this award, judges will be looking for someone who has demonstrated exceptional leadership. Winning the award would mean that you were persistent in the face of challenges and demonstrated a clear commitment to making a positive impact on your community.
Get people engaged in your work – Judges are looking for someone with a clear vision for the future. We don’t want a winner who’s had a one-off victory or who struck lucky by chance, we’re looking for a relentless business person with projects still to come that are cause for excitement and intrigue.
Get your name out there – Every event is recapped and covered by The Business Magazine and many of those in attendance who talk about the night long after it's over. We make sure to include all winners (and finalists) in our post-event articles and social posts.
Be celebrated for your entrepreneurship – Nominees with a unique perspective on their industry and a drive to support social or environmental causes through the introduction of new initiatives are the most likely to be declared the winner. By winning, you will set yourself apart as a committed individual with a strong mind for innovation.
Be Seen – The Hampshire Business Awards will bring together the cream of talent among the Hampshire Business community from start-ups and scale-ups to well established SMEs and global leaders. When you become the Young Business of the Year, the first to know will be a room brimming with CEOs, entrepreneurs and some of the most prevalent figures in Hampshire.
Entering one of our awards online is quick, easy and completely free.
There’s nothing to lose and everything to gain when you submit your nomination to become our Young Business Person of the Year.
Thank you again to Farnborough Airport for sponsoring this award.
