The awards, presented by Ranvir Singh once again celebrated the contribution that BME individuals and businesses make to the regional economy in the Northwest.
Supported by the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA), the EMBF was set up in January 2005 and provides strategic leadership and strategic policy advice to the NWDA, key regional decision makers and stakeholders in order to empower BME businesses to maximise their full potential for the benefit of the region’s economy.
Steven Broomhead, Chief Executive of the NWDA, said:
“Congratulations to this year’s winners, all of whom are leaders in their fields of work. I am delighted to have been a part of this years event, which celebrated the very best of the region’s BME business community and the cultural diversity of England’s Northwest. Long may these awards continue to spark the imagination of budding entrepreneurs and encourage others to set up or expand businesses in the region.”
Regional Minister Phil Woolas said:
“I am/was delighted to attend The Ethnic Minority Business Forum Awards which are a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the contribution and achievements of ethnic businesses in our region. I would like to congratulate not just the winners, but also all the businesses that play such a crucial role in not only the economic and social development of the North West, but also contribute a tremendous amount to our region’s economy, its charities, community groups and cultural life.”
Dr Nighat Awan OBE, Chair of the EMBF Northwest said:
“Without the NWDA we wouldn’t be here tonight and our board reflects the diversity of the region. The event was amazing! We had a fantastic selection of finalists and worthy winners were chosen by the audience. We are proud to hold our prestigious ceremony in Liverpool - truly the world in one city.”
Olive Strachan, Vice-Chair EMBF Northwest said:
“Having been fortunate enough to win the ‘Award for Achievement in International Business’ last year I have insight into what if feels like to win an award and now as the Vice Chair I also have the pleasure of being involved in the planning and preparing the event. Last night was a triumph for both the winners of the awards and the EMBF Board a celebration of the achievements of ethnic minority business. I am extremely proud to be part of it.”
