A few months ago Red magazine asked me to put forward a few names of women under 30 that impressed me in the social media sphere. They didn’t say what it was for, so I was thrilled to discover that LLG’s editorial associate Briony Whitehouse, a super talented writer, blogger in her own right, and heavyweight political advisor in her day job, had been included in Red’s ‘20 Under 30: Hot List’ for 2011. The list reveals the UK’s most influential women under 30 and Red’s Hot Women of the future.
Running in the current April issue, Red magazine has selected rising stars from industries across business, digital, politics, sport, fashion, media, theatre, entertainment and social enterprise. Included in Red’s ‘20 Under 30: Hot List’ are Alexandra Burke (22) best known as the winner of The X Factor in 2008, Alice Goddard (26) the vice-president of the Frequent Borrower Group / Royal Bank of Scotland, Christine Ohurougu (26), Olympic sprinter, Olivia Rubin (29) fashion designer to the stars and Sophie Wright (30), chef, so brilliant Briony is in very good company. Of course it’s no more than she deserves, and I am very, very pleased for her!
The 20 under 30 are: ‘
The Digital Guru’ Emma Barnett, 26 ‘The Red-carpet Dresser’ Olivia Rubin, 29
‘The Olympic Watcher’ Summer Hurwitz, 28 ‘The Funny Girl’ Josie Long, 28

Congratulations Briony! I was particularly inspired by your career so far and by all the Red Mag’s 20 under 30, if not a little underwhelmed by my own smaller achievements at 25
