The fervour is growing ladies and gentlemen as the Manchester Young Talent Awards are only 5 days from now! The Imperial War Museum (North) at Salford Quays will be hosting Thursday's event for the first time and it is set to be JCI Manchester's biggest MYTA to date.

JCI Manchester will be celebrating the cream of Manchester's professional crop when it hands out the awards including Legal Professional of the Year, Business Development Achievement of the Year and Entrepreneur of the Year.

JCI Manchester President Jennifer Smith has summed up the spirit of the event as illustrating:

'...not only that Manchester has a genuine passion for developing young talent, but also that JCI Manchester is being recognised as one of the city's key players in growing this talent.'

We hope those attending have their bow ties and evening dresses dusted off as it promises to be a wonderful evening.
