Future Leaders recognised by IoD Jersey

Friday 20 October 2023


The IoD Jersey 2023 Future Leaders scheme has culminated in an awards ceremony at the Radisson Hotel, where the winners were announced.

The scheme, open to all Year 12 students, offers a week’s work shadowing with a Director or Senior Manager.

The Future Leaders scheme has been running for over 40 years and this year saw a broad range of organisations participating, including Island Equine Vets, States of Jersey Treasury, GeoMarine, and Silkworth.

A total of 17 students from across the island’s schools received certificates of participation, while a further 10 were Commended.

The three winners were:

  • First place - Distinction: Manu Uren, Hautlieu School (Manu shadowed Jerry Willis, director with HGL Associates)

  • Second place - Highly Commended: Adi Bors, Hautlieu School (Adi shadowed various directors at KPMG)

  • Third place - Highly Commended: Jack Stevens, Victoria College (Jack shadowed Leonie McCrann, Director with Marbral Advisory)

Chair of IoD Jersey’s Future Leaders sub-committee, Ceri Powell said, “The growth of our students through this process is truly inspirational and providing opportunities to our future generations is very much why I became involved with this IoD committee some eight years ago.” 

KPMG have been sponsors of the scheme for over 15 years. Andrew Quinn, Managing Partner, said: “Over my 25 years at KPMG, some of the IoD Future Leaders students have returned to the firm for longer periods of work experience or a permanent role.

"Just a week of shadowing a Director can lead to great employment opportunities and careers.”
