Friday 16th September will witness another history in the making. Asian Business Publications Limited (ABPL) will host its 16th annual Asian Achievers Awards at the prestigious Grosvenor House. The event will be attended by over 800 guests, including business tycoons, entrepreneurs, company directors, senior professionals, members of Parliament and the uniformed services.
Now an integral part of British life, the Asian community plays an increasingly important role in shaping the country’s future. Known as The People’s Choice Awards, the Asian Achievers Awards celebrates the outstanding work of South Asian individuals from across a spectrum of backgrounds and professions. Like many other areas, British-Asian representation in professional fields has increased over the last few years. This year’s theme is Professional of the Year, to acknowledge the outstanding achievements in the Professions and contributions to the community. The awards are therefore attended by the top echelons of the British Asian society.
CB Patel, Publisher/Editor, ABPL Group, said: “The mission of the Asian Achievers Awards is two-fold – recognise and reward genuine high achievers in the Asian community. I know for a fact that the high esteem with which the community holds the awards stems from the overwhelming participation from all sections of the Asian community in the nomination process, and the free rein given by ABPL Group to the esteemed judges to uphold meritocracy and meritocracy alone. Those twin pillars have been foundational to the success of the Awards and the affection it has come to enjoy as the ‘People’s Awards’.
“Given the record number of nominations that we received this year I am filled with awe and respect for the daunting process that the judges must have endured to select the very best from a galaxy of superstars.”
Since its launch, Asian Achievers Awards has helped to raise millions of pounds for various charities and this year, the chosen charity partner is the Indian Ocean Disaster Relief (IODR). IODR’s aim is to create awareness about the perils of human trafficking, to assist in rescuing and rehabilitating trafficked girls and act to leverage the power of iconic sports and other personalities to raise funds to highlight this crime and intervene wherever the need. The Asian Achievers Awards is also proud to have Sunrise Radio and Colors TV on board as Media Partners.
