In case you missed it, the winners of the Future Faces annual dinner and awards were celebrated at a glittering event at Symphony Hall. More than 450 people were in attendance, where Rebecca Halbert was crowned the Future Face of Greater Birmingham.
The patronage was orchestrated by Anna
Assinder, Future Faces manager, Russell Ashman, sponsorship and advertising manager at the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce (GBCC) and Dave Parry. Anna said: “Gymshark is an incredible success
story for the region and should inspire our entrepreneurial young professionals to see what can be achieved in Birmingham. It’s also great that Gymshark, who’s enjoying such fantastic
growth and success, is choosing to invest further in its West Midlands routes and build its key community ties with organisations such as Future Faces. “We are particularly keen to work with them
in helping their young workforce enhance their skills, grow their local network and be even more engaged with the Future Faces network in Birmingham and Solihull.” Gymshark is the fifth patron of Future Faces.
