Our call for nominations in August 2012 brought in over 80 nominees,
demonstrating the immense potential the Bay holds in its young
business talent.
Please join us in congratulating the successful achievers, the innovators
and entrepreneurs who are the new face of business in Nelson
Mandela Bay. This year’s list features a broad spectrum of young
business owners and entrepreneurs, company directors, managers and
talented individuals fulfilling their lifelong passions. Many of our
achievers are recognized leaders in their fields. Others are plotting their
career trajectories, skipping up the corporate ladder or striking out on
their own.
These promising young businesspeople – together with last year’s
achievers – now form the Top 40 Network. This network provides our
Top 40 achievers with access to exclusive networking opportunities, the
chance to participate in issues-driven business forums, and the
opportunity to give back to the community through co-ordinated
community projects in 2013.
This by no means comprehensive or exhaustive list seeks to highlight
the wealth of business talent available in Nelson Mandela Bay. This year’s
achievers represent a growing force of young people under the age of
40 who see not only the potential in our region to support their
business aspirations, but the means to help them grow and flourish.
The 2012 Top 40 Under 40 process was supported by a high-calibre panel of judges.
