The Grocer has kickstarted its search for the best and brightest young talent working across the UK food and drink sector.
The Grocer Next Gen Awards is the new name for the Top New Talent Awards. The relaunch for 2021 is intended to help the industry recruit new talent and offer employment opportunities to the growing number of young people who are facing unemployment due to the pandemic.
A recent report by the Resolution Foundation has predicted that youth unemployment is on course to more than triple to the highest levels since the early 1980s, up from a record low of 5.5% last year to 17% by the end of this year.
