More than 800 of the city's finest young professionals and senior business people have gathered tonight at the ICC for the 15th Birmingham Young Professional of the Year Awards.
The annual awards recognised leading talent in business and professional services across six different categories alongside the leaders of tomorrow in the aspiring talent award for 16 to 24 year olds.
The black tie dinner is getting under way ahead of the all-important awards ceremony which this year is being hosted by Countdown mathematician and former Strictly Come Dancing star Rachel Riley.
Pre-dinner photos (see gallery) were taken by the Birmingham Post in association with boutique shopping mall The Mailbox which is close to re-opening completely following a major £50 million renovation programme.
