Winners of the Leicester Mercury Young Achiever Awards were announced today at a glittering ceremony at the King Power Stadium.
The awards recognise those who have gone above and beyond to achieve in sport, the world of academia and in the community.
They also highlight those who act as an inspiration to others, and were sponsored by, among others, Fullhurst Community College, in Leicester.
Mitul Gadhia, from Mountsorrel, clinched the Student of the Year title to be crowned the overall winner, having already taken the top spot in the Business and Enterprise Achievement Award.
The 24-year-old's entrepreneurial skills shone out to the judges having set up his own estate and letting agents and taken on a number of apprentices in that time too.
He said: "I feel really proud and didn't ever expect to be taking home one award, never mind two. I've always had a strong work ethic and I think I get that from my parents. I had lots of help and guidance as I came through and so taking on some apprentices has enabled me to pass on some of my knowledge. It's nice to be able to help others if I can."
Full details of the ceremony and a list of all the winners will be available online tomorrow.
