Building on the success of the Rising Stars Awards in 2020, 2021 and 2022, winners for this year’s awards were announced at a special ceremony at the Royal Jersey Showground on Friday 28 July 2023.
The ceremony celebrated the achievements of talented, young individuals across Jersey’s financial sector.
In total, there were 200 nominations for the awards. The shortlist for each of the 13 categories was selected by an independent panel of judges. This year 50,000 votes were cast by members of the public to ultimately determine the winners.
The passion, commitment and dedication shown by these young professionals to both their employers and the community have really shone through, making them worthy winners.
Congratulations to this year’s winners and those shortlisted nominees – they are all a true inspiration to the next generation of Islanders considering a career in the finance industry.
