What an event!
A huge thank you to PFM in supporting the Young Leader of the Year Award 2019, it has year on year become an award with an increasing number of nominations demonstrating how valuable the process is for nominees, finalists and winners.
Also, a massive thanks to Boden Resource for sponsoring our launch event for the second year running. Without their involvement and support for the award, we wouldn’t be able to spread the word and of course hold our launch event.

The awards launch was held at one of the world’s most sustainable properties, The Crystal Building in London, kindly organised through Sodexo, we kicked off with an introduction and discussion around the transition and re-branding of the YMF into Emerging Workplace Leaders. The new leadership team was introduced and we went straight in to the launch of the Prestigious Young Leader of the Year Award 2019. This was then followed by a fantastic seminar from Cathy Hayward (Founder and Managing Director of Magenta Associates) on Personal Branding, with a 4 person Question Panel made up of members from the EWL Leadership Team, telling their own story of personal branding and the impact it has had on their personal and professional lives. The night of course, wouldn’t be done without some informal networking, drinks and nibbles!
