Bradford set to celebrate business
The Yorkshire Asian Business Association (YABA) is to lead a celebration of Yorkshire’s Asian business at its fourth annual awards evening in Bradford later this month.
Taking place on Thursday 28th September, the YABA Awards Dinner will bring together leading members of the Asian business community across Yorkshire and Humberside.
Hundreds of guests from around the region will sample Asian fusion food, drink and entertainment, as they gather together to toast the success of the Asian business community and to celebrate Yorkshire’s diversity.
The panel of judges is made up of a number of leading figures in the Asian community, including Baroness Sayeeda Warsi. They will face some tough decisions, after reviewing the many entries submitted across several categories.
Chairman of the Yorkshire Asian Business Association, Amarjit Singh, said: “We are delighted to be hosting our fourth annual celebration of Yorkshire’s Asian business at our awards evening in Bradford this September.
“It is set to be a very special evening, where everyone can come together to recognise the diversity of our region and the significant contribution that the Asian business community makes.”
YABA has been championing regional Asian businesses on a regional, national and international level since its formation in 2014. The Asian business community makes a significant contribution, with a share of over 11% of new business Start-Ups nationally. In addition, according to research published by the CBI, The British Asian community generates around 10% of the country’s GDP despite making up only 6% of the population.
