Lincolnshire 30 Under 30, The Lincolnite‘s showcase of young up and coming talent and high achievers, returns for 2021 – and nominations are now open.
Thanks to our sponsors, Sparkhouse, Ringrose Law and Streets Chartered Accountants, publishers Stonebow Media are organising the celebration of Lincolnshire’s promising talent for this autumn.
It has been a whirlwind two years in between our 2019 Lincolnshire 30 Under 30 spotlight and the 2021 edition, and we’re seeking the rising stars who shone throughout; from entrepreneurs, to athletes, artists and rapidly developing professionals.
We’re also keeping tabs on our first cohort of high achievers, and looking forward to hearing from them about the exciting developments they’ve had in the last 18 months.
We’re looking to hear from inspirational young achievers from all backgrounds and professional fields. You can nominate yourself, or someone you know personally or professionally who is making our county proud.
Nominations are open for people from across Greater Lincolnshire (from the Humber to the Wash), either living or working in our region (and beyond!)
Entries close on September 8. A reception event scheduled for Thursday, October 28, at the Lincoln Cathedral Chapterhouse. Check out the 2019 celebration.

The Lincolnshire 30 Under 30 has seen all three of its sponsors returning to support the initiative for 2021.
Charlotte Baxter, Enterprise Manager at Sparkhouse, said: “Our team is privileged to work alongside many young entrepreneurs and talented professionals during the earlier phases of their careers and love to see these individuals thrive as part of our region’s business community – some through our Growing Graduate Enterprise service, others through the business incubation and start-up support streams we have on offer at Sparkhouse. It is our pleasure to see young rising stars flourish in their respective industries and we are delighted to celebrate them all through The Lincolnite’s 30 Under 30 campaign. It is a fantastic opportunity to draw attention to the dedication and successes of these individuals, as well as the opportunities on offer for young people in Greater Lincolnshire.”
Alex Bennett, Associate Marketing Manager at Ringrose Law, said: “Lincolnshire has a lot of young, individual talent across all sectors, and it is fantastic to be able to recognise and celebrate these individuals. We place a lot of emphasis on career progression and career frameworks, and finding opportunities for our own team. Many of our staff have worked their way through the firm after starting with us at a young age. It is great to see and hear about the passion, commitment and determination these individuals have.”
James Pinchbeck, Marketing Partner at Streets Chartered Accountants, added: “We are delighted and excited to once again be supporting Lincolnshire 30 under 30.The energy, resilience, sense of purpose, social responsibility, creativity and enterprise our under 30s have is truly inspiring.It is great to highlight the difference such individuals make to our community, and right that we single out such individuals for recognition.They are an inspiration to the young and old alike!”

The Lincoln Sports Direct Gym at Witham Park House is set to close permanently this week.
Members of the gym were informed via email that the facility would close at the end of the day on Wednesday, January 26, and would not be reopening.
The gym was the last of the Sports Direct branded fitness facilities in the city, following the closure of the Weaver Road branch in May 2021.
Those registered with the company were told their membership had been transferred to their sister club – Everlast Gyms on Tritton Road.
Everlast Gyms is due to undergo a significant refurbishment, they told them.
Sports Direct Fitness informed members: “If you do not wish to have your membership transferred across, you can cancel your membership immediately and free of charge by sending an email to our cancellations team ([email protected]) before February 28 2022.
“We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your ongoing support and cannot wait to welcome you to our Tritton Road gym in the near future.”
Meanwhile, the branch’s website and social media pages do not show signs that a closure is imminent.
In recent days, social media promotions encouraging members to ‘refer a friend’ have also created some confusion.
The Lincolnite contacted Sports Direct Fitness, but did not receive a reply before publication.
