As with all the business leaders, expert practitioners, coaches and partners that work within the Scholarship Programme the Judges will be gifting their time to supporting the Academy.

Sherilyn Shackell, Founder of The Marketing Academy said: “We ask our Judges to identify the future leaders of the marketing industry in the UK, it’s not an easy job and I’m thrilled that so many senior and successful leaders have donated their time to ensure that the calibre and potential of our next group of Scholars is as strong as ever. Our Judges experience and knowledge means we’ll have another exceptional cohort of Scholars this year and I can’t wait to meet them.”
