Nominations are now open for the seventh annual Jersey Finance Rising Stars Awards.
The awards – which target young professionals aged 16 to 30 – aim to recognise and celebrate the stars of the future from across Jersey’s financial and related professional services sector.
Jersey Finance member firms are now invited to nominate their ‘rising stars’ before 1 April, with entries then being reviewed and shortlisted by a panel of independent judges.
The awards ceremony will then take place on Friday 3 July at the Royal Jersey Showground.
Joe Moynihan, Chief Executive Officer, Jersey Finance, said: “The finance industry is ever changing… and we will look to those who are living these changes and becoming highly skilled in new technologies and areas of expertise, to guide us moving forward.
“I look forward to seeing this year’s nominations and watching them develop in their careers. Supporting emerging talent in Jersey is essential to securing a skilled, future-ready workforce.”
