Each year we celebrate inspirational role models and pillars in our community, and our nominees this year represent this ethos to perfection and I would like to send a sincere thanks to all those who took the time to nominate.

 

In the landmark 15th year of the Asian Achievers Awards it brings me much pride to pay special homage to British Asian men and women who help to both run our country and also protect it. Their remarkable deeds can be life-changing, and even life-saving, and this is our opportunity to thank them.”

This year’s event is themed around the contribution of Asians in Uniformed and Civil Service.

 

Since launching, The Asian Achievers Awards has helped to raise millions of pounds for various charities and this year, the chosen charity partner is the Loomba Foundation, which works with widows and children. The Asian Achievers Awards is also proud to have Sunrise Radio and Colors TV on board as Media Partners.
