Mr. CB Patel, Publisher\/Editor, ABPL Group says: \u201cWe were overwhelmed with the calibre of entries for the Asian Achievers Awards this year, but our judges led by Sir Vince Cable, have once again done a stellar job in short listing nominees. 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.<\/em><\/div>\n

In the landmark 15th<\/sup> year of the Asian Achievers Awards it brings me much pride to pay special homage to British Asian men and <\/em>women who help to both run our country and also protect it.
