After the success of Devon & Plymouth Chamber of Commerce’s first 30 Under 30 campaign to honour the region’s young business stars, we’re delighted to once again be partnering with Babcock for this exciting initiative.
Entries are open for 2023, so if you know someone under 30 who has made a significant impact in the working world, fill in the form on our website to nominate someone, or yourself, and help us celebrate the next generation of business leaders.
Young business people play a hugely important role in the future of our economy and our business community, so it’s crucial that we nurture and reward young talent.
Our 30 selected winners, chosen by our partners, will be honoured during our glittering Devon & Plymouth Chamber of Commerce Awards ceremony at The New Continental Hotel in Plymouth on Friday 19 May.
You can book your ticket for our Awards ceremony here.
