The 2008 awards

James Goodfellow, The Badenoch & Clark Rising Star 2008

James receiving his £1000 chequeNot so long ago, 24 year old James Goodfellow was a Biology and Management student at Royal Holloway College, earning a little money on the side as a personal shopper for Sainsburys.

    Inga Lidaka,
    2009 Rising Star winner

    I was completely shocked to win, but very excited.

    I was at the ceremony with the rest of the team and it was fantastic to see my colleagues really happy for me. We are all really supportive of each other, and that has helped me learn so much in the role since I came to London from Sweden where I worked for SEB.

    I'm looking forward to progressing with the Bank, and I'm sure this award will help my future career.
