Since we began in 2016, the Sport for Business / PwC 30 under 30 has highlighted almost 200 talented young individuals working in or around the business of sport.

We are delighted to begin the search today for this year’s intake.

Those who are selected will be joining a group that has since gone on to advance into serious positions of leadership, to create game-changing companies of their own, and to prove that age should never be a barrier to talent and ability.

It is a valuable network that we will be bringing into closer connection over the course of this year and one that we are confident will be enriched by those who are nominated and selected for 2023.

So, who do you work with that has shone over the past twelve months or more and is deserving of recognition as they rise through their career?  It could be someone in another company that has impressed you in their dealings with you or someone you have admired from a distance.

Over the coming weeks, we will be highlighting the moves that some of our ‘alumni’ have made over the past year.

In March we will drop a new podcast series talking to some of them and next September we will do likewise with a number of this year’s ‘intake’.

Criteria

The criteria for submission is that the person should be working within the sports industry, or in a sponsorship or agency capacity that is bringing sport to life, and that they should be born in or after 1993.

You are invited to submit names and a short precis of why an individual deserves to be recognised below.

Our ambition from the start has been to create a network of people making a real difference within our industry.

Who should we be looking to for the next wave of excellence?

This is an opportunity to put forward those you have come across that have struck you as having real potential, to be part of our next generation of leaders.

It’s not about where they are now. It’s all about where they could get to with the right breaks.

The list publication for this year starts on Wednesday, March 1st.
