The Awards, now in their third year, are designed to recognise the future leaders from across the local financial services industry by celebrating young Jersey talent (age 16 – 30 years). The awards span fourteen industry categories, including two new categories added this year to recognise young professionals for their work in ‘Diversity and Inclusion’, and ‘Sustainability’.
The ceremony was introduced by Jersey Finance’s Chief Executive, Joe Moynihan, who highlighted the positive role that Jersey’s young professionals play within the industry, the workplace, and the community, and underlined the importance of supporting young local talent in order to maintain a sustainable and resilient workforce on the island.
