The Birmingham Young Professional of the Year (BYPY) Awards is one of the region’s most prestigious events, recognising and rewarding the most talent individuals from the business and professional services community.

The highly-anticipated launch was held at Hotel La Tour and gave the 150+ guests the chance to find out more about what BYPY16 has to offer, how to nominate (and be nominated), what is expected of a BYPY nominee, and how it can impact your life for the better.

BYPY15 overall winner Katie Kershaw delivered a speech that gave a taste of her experiences. Past finalists and winners were in attendance, as well as the BYPY committee, who provided further guidance on why people should get involved in this year’s awards.

BYPY16 takes place on May 12 at the ICC Birmingham and tickets are on sale now. To book, and to nominate yourself or someone you know, visit bpsbirmingham.co.uk/bypy/ .
