Being a Director of a company is a position that many young career hungry and aspirational individuals have in their sights. For some, it’s the money, for others, the status and for others still, it’s the desire to create a business from nothing. One thing is for sure, a company directorship is typically a title to be proud of. But how many of these young people in the UK actually make it? Research undertaken by Who’s Who Publications PLC states there are 620,000 Company Officers in the UK aged 35 or under. Further analysis of their companies, identifying where a company has a value over £75,000 and a net worth which has increased year on year, and by applying some basic rules to remove companies that may not be financially stable or who are not complying with Government rules and obligations at Companies House, the final elite selection is complete. In the latest edition of the Young Business Leaders 2010 book, due to be published in February 2010, Who’s Who Publications PLC will feature just over 17,000 individuals, less than 3% of all Directors in the 35 and under category. This new launch follows the success of the last edition of this popular title – Young Business Leaders 2009. Who’s Who Publications Chairman, Jeremy Hall said “For the last 12 years we have produced a number of titles in our Who’s Who of Britain’s Business Elite series. One of the most popular has always been Young Business Leaders. Individuals selected for a biographical entry enjoy unprecedented recognition and our books act as an historical record of their achievements. The range of executive directors included, from many fields of business, reflects the exciting diversity of Britain’s strengths in a time when it takes determination and sheer hard work to reap the rewards of a successful enterprise. It really is right, in our opinion that this elite group should be given the recognition they deserve.” Tracy Thomas, publisher for Who’s Who Publications PLC, says “We are very pleased to be publishing this title again, highlighting the success of young Directors. The Britain’s Business Elite series currently runs to 7 titles reflecting Business Leaders whose companies are the top performers in the UK. We have books based on new businesses, fastest growing companies, businesses whose owners are amongst the highest net worth individuals in the country, books featuring movers and shakers by region, as well as specialist volumes by industry sector. It’s important we honour the UK’s Business Leaders and their success stories at a time when the economic climate is as tough as it is.” UK Directors, 35 and under, who have qualified for inclusion are now being asked to check and verify their entry on the Who’s Who website at www.whoswho.co.uk.
