North West trio named in prestigious Sunday Times Young Power List of prominent overachievers under 30

Celebrating and recognising 25 of the most inspiring young people in the UK and Ireland, the list features prominent young people chosen by the editors at The Sunday Times for their ingenuity and uniqueness in their chosen fields.

With the winners having shared their stories of success, revealing the determination needed to excel in their field, the unexpected advantages of youth and inexperience, and the unwavering passion that motivates them all, in this week’s Sunday Times, the list includes three representatives from the North West: darts prodigy Luke Littler from Warrington, Clear beauty app founder Ahana Banerjee from Chester, and creative director of Ferragamo Maximilian Davis from Manchester.

“The Young Power List celebrates hard work and ingenuity in its many forms,” said Hannah Swerling, Commissioning Editor of The Sunday Times. “It features rising stars in entertainment, sportsmen and women dominating their field, entrepreneurs changing the world for the better, tech trailblazers, a political powerhouse and many more.

“The 25 young people on the list demonstrate that success can take many forms and remind us that the best journeys begin with hope, excitement, and a sense of limitless possibility.”
