It is always one of the most popular series we run through the year and our listing of 30 Under 30 Young Leaders of Tomorrow for 2021, in association with our friends at PwC, has now reached the first ten.
We are now beyond the halfway point in highlighting 30 young leaders that are making a mark within the Business of Sport in Ireland. They will be drawn from sports administration, sports sponsorship, sports media and other areas. Our ambition is the creation of a network of people making a real difference within our industry.
They will join the 100 who have been nominated over the past four years and there is still time to nominate someone you feel might be a good addition.
How to nominate someone you know for our list.
