Sherilyn Shackell, Founder of The Marketing Academy said: “Our panel of Judges have undoubtedly the hardest part of an incredibly tough selection process. They have the unenviable task of ensuring that the high and rigorous Scholar selection standards of the last five years are met and exceeded in levels of talent, skills and potential. I’m delighted to have such a strong line-up of Judges and know that they’ll choose a fantastic cohort of Scholars for our 6th year.”
