The 30 Under 30 Awards

The 30 Under 30 Awards recognise rising stars who have demonstrated remarkable achievements, innovation, and dedication in their respective fields.

The expert panel, including representatives from Babcock, YMCA Plymouth, Diversity Business Incubator, and Argyle Community Trust, carefully evaluated over 70 outstanding entrants to select the final 30 winners.

All winners, including Sarah and Charlie, are invited to celebrate their awards at the Devon & Plymouth Chamber Awards Ceremony on Friday, 17th May. This event promises to be a fantastic celebration of talent, innovation, and community spirit! We’re so pleased that Sarah and Charlie’s outstanding achievements will be recognised and celebrated at this ceremony and are extremely proud to have these two inspiring, young entrepreneurs as part of our Extra Help family.
