A Future Faces member has been nominated for Young Achiever of the Year at the Birmingham awards.

Faryal Raza Bhatti currently leads marketing across three insurance brands at Norton Insurance Brokers and oversees strategy, budgets, multi-channel campaigns and lead generation.

He has been recognised for the award after making a significant impact on the company’s marketing strategy whilst building his career and connections within Birmingham’s business community.

The awards are taking place at The Eastside Rooms on the 7 November and will include networking, dinner and entertainment.

Faryal (pictured) said: “Being named a finalist for Young Achiever of the Year at the Birmingham Awards feels particularly significant to me.

“I moved to Birmingham just two years ago, and as a young carer, having my work recognised in a city where I’m still building both my career and community means a great deal.

“I’m especially proud to be part of Birmingham’s marketing and business community, and I hope this recognition encourages other newcomers who are finding their feet, building connections and creating opportunities for themselves here too.”

Mark Wilkinson, managing director, Norton Insurance Brokers, said: “Norton has been trading for over 60 years, and our people have always been at the heart of that success.

“Faryal being named a finalist for Young Achiever of the Year at the Birmingham Awards reflects exactly the kind of ambition and creativity we want to nurture across the business.

“In little more than a year, Faryal has reshaped marketing across our three brands, building in-house capability and embracing new technology to transform how we reach our customers. We couldn’t ask for a better ambassador at the awards.”
