INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the 2008 BYPY Awards

Birmingham Young Professional of the Year (or BYPY as we like to call it) was launched in 2000. Eight years on, BYPY has made its mark
as one of the most important, well-respected and glitziest events on Birmingham’s business calendar.

Each year, more and more of Birmingham’s high flying young professionals vie for the coveted (and rather large) award, and each year tickets to the ceremony sell out faster than hot cakes. BYPY is the hottest ticket in town, and 2008 will be no exception.

BYPY is all about you. We’re not celebrating your firm or your area of business, we’re celebrating you and your achievements within them. Birmingham is a great city to do business in, and it’s our job to recognise, congratulate and nurture those who will be working and succeeding here for decades to come.

The nominations are now open, with winners to be announced at a glittering awards ceremony on 22 May 2008 at the International Convention Centre.
