SYLC identifies, nurtures and empowers young talent from diverse backgrounds, primarily in industry, engineering and medical fields, through tailored leadership, management and professional development pathways. We aim to become a widely recognised Young Leaders Development Programme in the UK, regionally and globally.
An inclusive, cross-disciplinary young leaders club of Senergy Ltd, an energy and biotech start-up committed to excellence in the UK and beyond. Members use a think-tank approach to solve real-world challenges, driving personal growth and industry-wide innovation.
To be the leading platform for developing the next generation of leaders, recognised for its impact, inclusivity and commitment to excellence, connecting emerging professionals with the people and resources they need to succeed.
The young executive runs the club; the board of fellows safeguards its direction. Each October the President and Vice President roles pass to the next emerging leaders for a one-year term; nobody is re-elected to the same role. (The 2025 Terms of Reference title these roles CEO and Vice CEO; the board is updating them.)

Conflicts of interest. Fellows and officers declare to the board any family or close personal connection to a member, and any financial interest in a Senergy venture. Anyone with such a link does not mentor, assess or decide on that member’s roles or work, and takes no part in ratifying an election that involves them. The board keeps a register of interests.
Regular monthly or quarterly meetings for planning, progress review and knowledge sharing.
Board-led with input from members. Major decisions by consensus or majority vote.
A quarterly report on activities, impact and future plans. Working groups such as recruitment, events and communications form as the club grows.
Principal-level professionals and advisory board members who supervise the club’s direction, vision and governance, and sponsor young leaders.
Experienced professionals who coach members and supervise projects, from subsurface engineering to product and policy work.
Students and young professionals with a passion for leadership, innovation and personal growth in industry, engineering or medical fields.
We look for passionate students and young professionals, typically under 30, who show leadership potential and a commitment to collaborative growth in industry, engineering or medical fields. If you are driven by innovation, value diverse perspectives and want to contribute to a volunteer-led mission, we want to hear from you.
