Young talent celebrated at Generation Next Awards

Individuals from three Marketing Derby Bondholders have triumphed at awards organised by East Midlands Chamber, which recognise young talent.

At the recent Generation Next Awards 2024, which took place at Bustler Market, in Derby,  Alistair Bullock, of Purpose Media, won the Creators and Makers Award.

Scarlet McCourt, of trentbarton, also tasted success, winning the Rising Star Award.

And Joshua Leach-Aslam, of Two Chevrons Group, carried off the Volunteering & Charitable Impact Award.

The Generation Next Awards are one of the biggest events in the annual calendar for the network of young professionals run by the chamber in conjunction with headline partner the University of Derby.

They showcase the outstanding achievements of people aged 18 to 35 across the region.

Lucy Robinson, the chamber’s director of resources and Generation Next lead, said: “The level of talent this year among all the winners and entrants was just off the scale.

“It’s tremendous to see the ingenuity of young people across the East Midlands.

“Generation Next does wonders in boosting confidence, we hear that all the time from our members, and enabling young people’s business skills to develop is something really special.”
