IOM3 & Mercury Search & Selection presents: Future Trailblazer's Award
Last year’s event had the addition of the Packaging Trailblazer’s Award in partnership with IOM3 Packaging Group and Mercury Search & Selection. This award aimed to recognise talented individuals, going above and beyond, to shape the future of packaging.
By looking at both the biggest contributions to change in the industry, and the potential individuals may hold, our judges will be awarding recognition to those who are driving forces in making a wider change in industries beyond packaging.
“We want to recognise the people who are relatively new to the sector but who are already starting to show their trailblazer potential.”
Jude Allan, Interim Managing Director
OPRL and Awards Chair
“Celebrating these individuals should be an inspiration to others and the next generation – who are the future of the industry.”
