Some of the Humber area’s top young professionals have been identified with the publication of the latest Hull & Humber Top 30 Under 30 list.

The 7th annual list will put the young people on a prestigious training programme that is designed to equip them with the skills towards leadership roles and ongoing professional development. As part of the programme, each of the selected winners will undergo 12 months of development in line with the Leadership Excellence Acceleration Programme (LEAP).

The 2024 cohort, which was selected from a record batch of entries, includes people working in a range of sectors, including finance, IT, HR and communications. Since launching in 2017, the programme has seen 23 of those selected become directors while 11 have become heads of department.

Simon Jones, founder of Top 30 Under 30, said: “I am proud to announce this year’s winners, and our class of 2024. This year, we’ve seen more employers than ever nominating their very best talent for recognition, making the judging process the most difficult to date.

“Today, we celebrate the contribution of the region’s best young talent. This group have made a significant difference to their organisations, to their teams and to the local business community, and it is an honour to showcase who they are, inspiring ambition amongst the next generation.”

The programme provides winners opportunities to enhance their leadership skills. 26-year-old Jack Moore from Hull took part in the 2022 scheme and described it as a ‘game-changer for his career’.

Mr Moore, who is group marketing and communications manager at Hull and East Yorkshire Mind, said: “Taking part in the LEAP programme had a huge impact on my career progression. The various training sessions encouraged me to think differently in my professional life, and armed with the tools and techniques I needed to put into practice to be the very best version of myself.

“As a result, I am more confident, I can communicate effectively, and feel that I am a better leader for my team. In turn, this has enabled me to expand my team, and collectively we are stronger than we’ve ever been before, and it’s all down to the skills I acquired as part of the LEAP programme. The Top 30 Under 30 scheme has been a real game-changer for me and my career, and for those businesses who want to invest in their employees both personally and professionally whilst making a real impact – it’s totally worth it.”

Mr Jones added: “I believe that through this scheme, organisations are now recognising how important their young talent is to their long-term future and prospects. As such, seeing more organisations engaging with these awards is a positive sign for the future of the Hull and Humber economy. In essence, mobilising and activating Hull and Humber’s future leaders is what the scheme is all about, and I can’t wait to take this year’s winners on that journey.”

Reform UK membership surpasses Tories party says

Membership of Reform UK has surpassed that of the Conservatives, Nigel Farage’s party has said. A digital counter on the Reform website showed a membership tally before lunchtime on Boxing Day ticking past the 131,680 figure declared by the Conservative Party during its leadership election earlier this year. Mr Farage said it was a “historic moment” as he posted on X: “The youngest political party in British politics has just overtaken the oldest political party in the world. “Reform UK are now the real opposition.” Party chairman Zia Yusuf said: “History has been made today, as the centuries-long stranglehold on the centre-right of British politics by the Tories has finally been broken. “Nigel Farage will be the next prime minister, and will return Britain to greatness.” There were 131,680 Conservative members eligible to vote during the party’s leadership election to replace Rishi Sunak in the autumn. The figure, revealed as Kemi Badenoch was announced as the new leader on November 2, was the lowest Tory level on record and a drop from the 2022 leadership contest when there were around 172,000 members. Reform returned five MPs to the Commons at the general election in July, including Mr Farage in Clacton. A Conservative Party spokesman said: “Reform has delivered a Labour Government that has cruelly cut winter fuel payments for 10 million pensioners, put the future of family farming and food security at risk, and launched a devastating raid on jobs which will leave working people paying the price. “A vote for Reform this coming May is a vote for a Labour council – only the Conservatives can stop this.” Unlike other political parties, Reform was set up as a limited company, and in September Mr Farage announced that he would change the ownership structure so that it would be owned by members. “I no longer need to control this party,” he said at the time. In a video posted on X, he said: “We will change the structure of the party from one limited by shares to a company limited by guarantee, and that means it’s the members of Reform that will own this party.” A research briefing published by the House of Commons Library in 2022 said comparing party membership numbers can be “difficult”, citing there not being a uniformly recognised definition of membership, or an established method to monitor it. Luke Tryl, director of the More in Common think tank similarly told the PA news agency it is an “opaque” process. “Parties are notoriously opaque about this sort of thing,” he said, also raising the idea that it is unknown whether the Conservatives have added any new members since their leadership election. He later added: “It’s very opaque and murky as a metric anyway.” With regard to Reform, Mr Tryl indicated that one of the challenges for the party will be whether membership converts to campaigners. He told PA: “There is no doubt Reform had a very good autumn. I think they capitalised off some of Labour’s early mistakes but also the fact the Conservative brand is still struggling. They’ve clearly got momentum.” Discussing Reform’s membership, he later said: “We know that lots of Reform’s most vocal supporters are very online. “Do those people who are very online and joined up… do they also go out and pound the streets, deliver leaflets, canvass, that sort of thing? “That remains an open question.” Published: 26/12/2024 by Radio NewsHub

Man arrested after two women die and two injured in Christmas Day stabbing

Two women have died and a man and a teenage boy suffered serious injuries after a suspected stabbing in Milton Keynes on Christmas Day. A 49-year-old man from the Buckinghamshire city was arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder and is in custody, Thames Valley Police said. Officers were called to a block of apartments in Santa Cruz Avenue, Bletchley, at about 6.30pm on Wednesday. The women, aged 38 and 24, died at the scene. A man, in his late 20s, and teenage boy were taken to hospital with serious injuries. They are both in a stable condition, police said. A dog also injured in the incident was taken to a vet but did not survive. A large cordon was in place at the scene on Thursday afternoon and a forensics team could be seen entering and walking up the stairs of a block of flats. Numbered yellow evidence markers and first aid kits could were visible on the road and pavement outside the address, and on the boot of a car parked on the adjoining Trinidad Grove. A family left flowers outside the police cordon. The group attached two bouquets and a grey teddy bear wearing a Father Christmas outfit to the railings around a children’s play area on Santa Cruz Avenue. A woman in the group told the PA news agency she did not know the victims and added: “This is a lovely area. You don’t expect to see this kind of thing here.” Senior investigating officer Detective Chief Inspector Stuart Brangwin, of the major crime unit, said: “Firstly I would like to extend my deepest condolences to the families of the women who have tragically died in this shocking incident. “We have launched a double murder investigation which may be concerning to the wider public, however we have made an arrest and are not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident and the parties are known to each other. “Members of the public will see a large police presence in the area while our investigation takes place. “If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to approach our officers and they will do their best to help.” Anyone with information or footage is asked to call 101, quoting reference number 43240622935, or contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
