East meets West at Nachural Entrepreneurship Awards
“The Midlands continues to be an engine of growth and remains as one of the most important regions for manufacturing and innovation. In a global marketplace where international trade and investment is so important, scale is so important.”
Ninder Johal’s comments came as preparations are in place to celebrate the best in business and the community at a glitzy black tie dinner event due to take place on September 28th at the Maher Centre in Leicester where businesses from the West Midlands are expected to attend in large numbers to network, meet and celebrate the best in Business across the region.
Mr Johal, CEO of production company, Nachural, also said: “With almost full employment, a steadily growing economy, a low pound and a raising of interest rates recently, confidence amongst businesses is mixed. As businesses, we need an environment that breeds certainty and a government that has long term aspirations and a vision to encourage wealth creation’.
The global, national and local environment continues to be uncertain. The EU referendum result continues to affect the business community as negotiations continue to stall, and whilst the global economy continues to grow and in particular the Eurozone, the world remains uncertain with tensions increasing because of the global imposition of tariffs and a protectionist environment.
But the UK economy continues to grow and is still the 5th largest economy in the world which reflects the importance of entrepreneurs who continue to create wealth and employment so that we can have sustainable communities’.
The event is renowned for having key note speakers who have experienced considerable achievements in business. This year is no different with Mr Jojar Dhinsa who is Chairman and CEO of The Athlone Group, a Coventry born entrepreneur who has global interests but continues to assist start up’s whilst giving back to the community through charitable contributions.
The event aims to address the importance of the Midlands Engine and there is a strong desire to connect the East and West Midlands in many ways other than through Midlands Connect which addresses the transport issue.
The awards seek to celebrate and highlight the ever increasing importance of the regions business community and its great contribution to the local, regional and national economy. The profile of the awards which have been already successful in the West Midlands is increasing year on year.”
“We feel it is important that the East Midlands and the wider region needs to celebrate its achievements and in the current climate it is easy to forget the contributions of businesses in the area. From start up’s to established employers in the area, the East Midlands and the wider region has much to boast about,” explained Ninder Johal who sits on the Black Country LEP and is also a Board member of the West Midlands Growth Company
The awards dinner is the ideal platform to show the region and the country the best that there is in the East Midlands and the wider region.
