Lillian Elekan, head of Membership at the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce and chair of judges, said: “It’s an honour to once again be the chair of judges for the GBYPY Awards.
It never ceases to amaze me how much young talent we have in our region, and I would encourage all of our Future Faces members to enter GBYPY 2024!
“And if you have any doubts about entering, just remember, it’s natural for us to underestimate our own abilities or the complexity of our achievements. Sometimes, familiarity with a task or job can make it seem less remarkable. However, when you step back and consider your journey to get to where you are today, you will realise the true marvel of what you’ve accomplished!”
