Nominations and votes sought for prestigious honours.

Solihull will host the second annual British Indian Awards, presented by business advisory and accountancy firm, BDO LLP. The prestigious event will be held on the 16thMay at the St. John’s Hotel.

Many people of Indian heritage have set up their own businesses, achieved a lifetime goal at a relatively young age or made a difference to the British community.

The Awards will be an evening of recognition, rewarding the continuing strength of the British Indian community, recognising those who thrive, evolve and capture the multicultural spirit of Great Britain.

Nominations are now open for the Awards and the public are encouraged to vote to help individuals, groups or businesses in gaining recognition for their success and contribution.

The British Indian Awards have partnered with the award-winning accountancy firm BDO, the largest global accountancy organisation aimed at the mid-market, operating in 138 countries and employing nearly 55,000 people worldwide.

The BDO British Indian Awards play an integral part in celebrating Indian talent across all walks of life in the UK.
