Greater Birmingham Young Professional of the Year awards 2024 announces its host

Radio, TV and sports broadcaster Amber Sandhu (pictured above) will be the host for this years’ Greater Birmingham Young Professional of the Year Awards.

The Wolverhampton presenter works across BBC Asian Network every Saturday afternoon and reports for Sky Sports News on their Premier League coverage.

Her big TV breakthrough came as the lead reporter for Midlands Today at the Commonwealth Games. Through her two sporting loves of football and cricket, she has reported on a number of tournaments such as The Hundred for BBC Sport and Women’s Ashes for Sky Sports.

Amber has also previously been on BBC Radio WM and 5live. She is also a prolific events presenter, from charity balls, to award ceremonies and this year she hosted the FA Women’s Conti Cup final at Molineux. She is also the official host for Westfield Shopping in London. 

Amber said: “I am SO excited to host the awards this year. I can’t wait to celebrate and shout about the incredible winners and all their hard work. I’m really looking forward to meeting everyone and putting on a night of fun, celebration and joy.”

The awards will take place on Friday the 18th of October, at the ICC in Birmingham and is the largest event in the Future Faces calendar.

Designed to celebrate and recognise the exceptional talent and achievements of young professionals in the Greater Birmingham area, this annual celebration honours individuals who have demonstrated outstanding performance, innovation, and dedication in their respective fields, contributing significantly to their industries and the local community.
