IQ-Magazine-Issue-14

IQ campaign
As a magazine, we’re lucky enough to receive
hundreds and hundreds of positive stories from
companies like yours every month. Each issue of
IQ is crammed with case studies, industry insights
and news stories, which really show that, as a
region, we’re leading the way when it comes to
growth, innovation and development.
Your stories have inspired us to seek out and
celebrate the up-and-coming stars who are
making serious waves and moving their sectors
forward. We have a generation of talented people
rising through the ranks who show no signs of
slowing, and we want to give credit where credit
is deservingly due.
We believe in celebrating the diversity of businesses
in our region. Our Top 30 Under 30 is open to
individuals from any business background, so it
doesn’t matter if you’re an established professional
services firm, or an entrepreneur just starting up –
we want to hear from you.
We caught up with business owners and public figures from our region who were quick to champion
the achievements of our younger colleagues…
“I’m constantly inspired by young people with new ideas who are setting up, working in and running
businesses. To build the kind of economy Britain needs to compete with our European and global
neighbours, we need to make the best use of the talents of all our young people, with a focus on nurturing
skills through academic and vocational routes. Well done to IQ Business Magazine for celebrating our
rising stars in East Anglia.” Daniel Zeichner, MP for Cambridge
“Recognising the talent in our own businesses could not be more important. Young people in business
need to feel valued if they’re going to continue to grow, and what better way to do that than with an
award.” Gemma Treby, Editor of IQ Business Magazine and co-founder of Cubiqdesign.
“As Chief Executive of Suffolk Chamber of Commerce I am proud to celebrate the innovative and
talented young business people who are helping to put Suffolk on the map. As the largest independent
private business forum in the county, Suffolk Chamber of Commerce recognises the positive impact
that young entrepreneurs make on our local economy. Suffolk is home to many high profile companies
and household names, and we are now supporting our talented rising stars through opportunities and
incentives to set up or expand so we can continue to remain at the forefront for innovative enterprise.”
John Dugmore, Chief Executive, Suffolk Chamber of Commerce
If you’ve got a bright spark in your organisation who deserves a
bit of the spotlight, we want to hear from you.
