Somerset Future 30 is not another awards ceremony.
It’s a powerful new initiative spotlighting 30 exceptional professionals under 30 who are driving impact across business, innovation and community.
Through nominations from businesses across Somerset, our panel of independent judges will select the Future 30 – a group of individuals already making a meaningful difference in:
- Business and enterprise
- Innovation and entrepreneurship
- Community impact
This Year’s Proud Sponsors
Somerset Future 30 is focused firmly on the future.
This is not a shortlist – it’s a statement.
The Future 30 will represent the most promising young professionals in Somerset, the next generation of decision makers and influencers, individuals already creating real impact.
Each will be recognised, profiled and celebrated as part of this exclusive group.
No Categories. No Rankings. No Overall Winner.
Just 30 exceptional young people recognised for the contribution they’re already making to Somerset’s future.
