A message from the Future pro-manchester Chair
This year's chair is Katie Fleming, Marketing Campaign Manager - TalkTalk Business.
The prestigious 2022 MiMA Awards by Future-pro, was an unforgettable evening for all. It was great to see a record number of entries at the sold-out award ceremony, which is dedicated to celebrating Greater Manchester's brightest young professional talent across 17 categories. Manchester is one of Europe's fastest-growing cities. At the heart of this is a business community of young future leaders representing an array of sectors with their exceptional talent, resilience and innovation during these challenging times. With the 2023 MiMA Awards less than 4 months away, there has never been a more important time for the business community to come together to acknowledge and reward the brilliant achievements of the young talent in our special city. As this is our tenth anniversary, expect this year's awards to be bigger and better than ever before! I'm excited to learn about all the amazing work our nominees have been up to this year and then celebrating with our well-deserving finalists at the fabulous Kimpton Clocktower Hotel on February 2nd. |
2022 Chairman's Rising Star Award Winner
Megan Christie-Copeland - JMW Solicitors
To win Lawyer of the Year, followed by the Chairman’s Rising Star Award 2022 at the pro-manchester, Made in Manchester Awards is an accolade I feel privileged and grateful to have received. Whilst I am still in shock(!) from receiving such an esteemed award, it is an incredible feeling to be recognised by some of the top professionals across numerous industries in the region. This is not only recognition and reward for myself but for all of my hardworking Court of Protection team at JMW Solicitors, who I am honoured to represent. The Court of Protection team go above and beyond to support the most vulnerable in society and the acknowledgement that we are making a difference has meant so much to us and those who we support and motivated our jubilant team even further! The response I have received from my colleagues, clients and associates for winning the award has also been overwhelmingly positive. I am so grateful to MiMA and pro-manchester for their dedication to promote, develop and celebrate young talent within Greater Manchester’s business and professional sector. They have given me the opportunity to put my team on the platform it deserves! The event itself was fantastic- a really fun evening and wonderful atmosphere! It was a pleasure and great opportunity to meet with other attendees who span a range of industries and businesses across the North West region as well as all the other worthy winners. |

2022 Business Owner/Entrepreneur of the Year
Duane Cormell - Realm Recruit
It was such an honour to win Business Owner/Entrepreneur of the
Year at the Made in Manchester Awards in 2022. There were some
really fantastic people in my category and it was a privilege to be recognised alongside them.
Winning the award has raised brand awareness of Realm Recruit
directly with those we serve, as a significant proportion of the Manchester legal market are members of pro-manchester and
are also involved in the awards. The awards dinner itself was the
perfect chance to celebrate a successful year with the whole team.

2022 Apprentice of the Year
Keiran Wilkinson - Koderley
After winning the Apprentice of the year award at the Made in Manchester Awards 2022, I was proud that my hard-work,
community engagement, and passion had been recognised by
Koderly and external judges. Winning the award also strengthened
my application to take part in a 4-week study trip to Canada with Manchester Metropolitan University that was funded by Koderly,
which was an amazing opportunity to develop professional skills
and visit another country in the early stages of my career.
