Lt Gen Mike Elviss CB MBE, Commander Field Army and British Army Gender Champion
The British Army is honoured to sponsor the Emerging Talent Award, which celebrates early-career women who, within just a few years of starting their professional journey, are already making a significant impact across Defence. This award shines a light
on individuals who have demonstrated strength of leadership, technical expertise, creativity, and determination in demanding environments. Their achievements show that talent, drive, and resilience can inspire at every level of service.
We believe that the future of Defence depends on the energy and fresh perspectives of those at the beginning of their careers. It is their commitment, innovation, and persistence that will shape a stronger, more capable Defence community in the years ahead.
The ‘Emerging Talent’ award celebrates not just ground-breaking achievements, but the consistent, outstanding contributions that embody the spirit of resilience and service to our nation. It is a privilege to support this award and to celebrate the remarkable women who are already exceeding expectations.
Congratulations to all those shortlisted - you are the future of Defence, and your accomplishments inspire us all. I wish each of you the best of luck and look forward to your continued success in the years ahead.
