The British Bangladeshis have made their own place in multicultural Britain with contributions in their respective fields and have been playing a major role in the growth of this country. The British Bangladeshi Who’s Who publication emphasises the success of the Bangladeshi community and showcases it to both the British and Bangladeshi community in the UK.

Colonel James Sunderland, the former MP of Bracknell Conservative Party, said this in the speech of the chief guest at the 15th edition of the publication and award ceremony of ‘British Bangladeshi Who’s Who at the Meridian Grand Hall in London on Tuesday, November 12.

He said, British-Bangladeshi  Who’s Who has honored eight British-Bangladeshis who are moving forward with extraordinary success in their respective professions.

Earlier this year’s publication was unveiled by Colonel James Sunderland, Channel S founder Mahee Ferdous Jalil, Who’s Who founder Abdul Karim Gani, Pearl Advertising director Ahad Ahmed and  Who’s Who executive editor Suhana Ahmed.

273 British-Bangladeshi success stories have been included in this publication. This year’s publication has added the contribution of new talent.

Innovation has enriched this publication, By adding a third generation of British-Bangladeshis, Who’s Who has grown in stature, embellished with the contributions of newcomers.

While expressing their feelings, this year’s awardees said, Who’s Who  award is really an honor and pride. This is recognition of our work. From its inception, the British-Bangladeshi Who’s Who  has been memorializing  the stalwarts of the community by documenting their significant contributions – something that generations to come will know about us.

Abdul Karim Gani, editor of British-Bangladeshi Who’s Who, said that the senior and young members of the Bangladeshi community in Britain have been playing a unique role in the British community. Everyone can easily know about community contribution from this publication.

Suhana Ahmed  – Executive Editor of the British Bangladeshi Who’s Who said, “The publication and the gala event has become well-known within the British Bangladeshi community. I like many of our supporters and well-wishers look forward to reading the profiles and attending the gala event. “The reasoning behind the publication is two-fold: Firstly, it provides inspirational role models for other members of our community, especially the youths.’’

“Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, at a time when various factions of the media and society are questioning the value of migration, this publication serves to highlight the extensive and remarkable contributions that British Bangladeshis are making here.

I hope you enjoy this year’s publication and appreciate the success of our award winners and I hope you will continue to support us for many years to come.
