We are delighted to hear that Black Country Asian Business Association – BCABA have announced a very special category dedicated to Asian women in business at their awards this year.
Sponsored by Natwest & Sweda this special category is to recognise the success & achievements of Asian business women in the Black Country.
Ninder Johal, President of Black Country Chambers of Commerce of which BCABA is a part of said “Whilst it is clear that the Asian business community is flourishing and bringing in a huge contribution to the UK overall GDP – it is also evident that the role of Asian women in business is underplayed. What is also apparent is that there is a surge in interest in this dynamic segment through organisations such as Asian Women MEAN Business. There is a latent demand for such recognition. With willing partners such as Natwest and Sweda. BCABA were more than happy to take up the mantle.”
Manjit Kang, real estate finance manager and women in business ambassador, said: “At NatWest, we’re passionate about supporting the local economy and thriving business community. Key to this commitment is backing local business women and encouraging more to start up and grow their own businesses.The BCABA Awards are a true celebration of the many talented business people we have across the Black Country. We are proud to be involved and to specifically support the 2014 ‘Women in Business’ category.”
Rupinder Kaur, Founder of networking organisation Asian Women MEAN Business, added “I think it’s a great initiative to recognise specifically the achievements of Asian business women at this award ceremony. We know that the challenges & barriers Asian women face & overcome in pursuit of their entrepreneurial dreams are different & unique to others. This is a great platform to showcase Asian businesswomen and champion their success as inspiration to other women considering setting up a business. I congratulate BCABA, Natwest & Sweda for taking this step!”
The Awards take place on Friday 13thJune at Wolverhampton Race Course.
