The Forty under 40 Awards; an initiative from Xodus Communications Limited seeks to identify, honor and celebrate a cross-section of the nation's most influential and accomplished young business leaders under the age forty from a wide range of industries we cover, who are committed to business growth, professional excellence and community service and have risen up the ranks of their companies or industries at a relatively young age as a result of this.

The Awards among others are aimed at recognizing and celebrating 40 emerging leaders under the age of 40 who demonstrate or impact personally and/ or professionally through their exceptional leadership; and finally, encourage our upcoming youth that excellence and success can be achieved at a very tender age.

According to the Events Director, Richard Abbey Jnr, putting the spotlight on these young achievers it will not only celebrate them but also build a strong platform for them by giving a voice and opportunities to the next generation of industry pacesetters whiles building a positive attitude in our youth to strive for excellence at a tender age

We are Xodus believe that it is vital to celebrate achievers when are alive rather than decorating caskets and funeral grounds in honor of the dead and gone.
