BrightSparks celebrates some of the most talented young Electronics Engineers in the UK, and we’re delighted that several UK Electronics Skills Foundation (UKESF) Scholars are among those recognised this year.

We would like to share our heartfelt congratulations to:

Jadesola Adelekan, Renesas Electronics / Loughborough University

Harry Hill, Ensilica / Imperial College London

Osian Jones, Compound Semiconductor Applications (CSA) Catapult / Swansea University

Samuel Kennedy, ARM / University of Southampton

David Miall, R-P-R / University of York

 

The Scholars received their Awards at the Electronics Weekly BrightSparks Awards 2025, held alongside the prestigious Elektra Awards on Tuesday 9 December at the Hilton Bankside, London.

Each of these Scholars has already made a real impact, whether through innovative projects, industry placements or outreach work inspiring the next generation.

These winners join a growing community of UKESF Scholars that have received recognition beyond their Scholarship. In total, 38 UKESF Scholars have now been awarded BrightSparks, a powerful reflection of the UKESF’s role in developing skilled, motivated engineers for the UK Electronics sector.
