Application deadline extended for Asian Business Chamber’s 40th anniversary awards
The Asian Business Chamber of Commerce (ABCC) has extended the application deadline for the 40th anniversary awards ceremony, with firms now able to apply until 8 November.
The awards, taking place at Birmingham Town Hall on 10 March 2027, will recognise businesses making a lasting impact on the Asian business community in Birmingham. The headline sponsor of the awards night is South and City College Birmingham.
Businesses are not required to be members of the Asian Business Chamber of Commerce to apply and there is no entry fee.
Eligible firms across the Chamber network including Birmingham, Burton, Cannock Chase, Lichfield, Tamworth, Solihull and Sutton Coldfield are also welcome to enter the awards.
The four award categories are:
- Asian Legacy & Heritage Award
- Excellence in Asian Business Award
- Asian Vision & Innovation Award
- Community Impact Award
The Asian Legacy & Heritage Award honours longstanding businesses in the region that have made significant contributions to the community and economy. This award is only open to businesses which have been trading for a minimum of 15 years as of 10 March 2027.
The Excellence in Asian Business award celebrates organisations which demonstrate strong growth, innovation, and leadership. It is open to businesses of any size and sector.
Businesses shaping the future of Asian enterprise with pioneering new technologies, markets or sustainable practices, and those developing talent and leadership will be celebrated through the Asian Vision & Innovation Award.
The Community Impact Award recognises an individual or organisation that has made a meaningful and lasting contribution to the community it serves. It is open to both Asian and non-Asian owned businesses working with Asian communities.
ABCC president Monica Ghai will also hand over a 40th Year Grand Award to a business that has gone above and beyond in supporting Asian businesses.
Each organisation can apply for a maximum of one award category and previous applicants, including award winners, are also eligible to apply.
Speaking about the awards, ABCC manager Katrina Raipuri said: “Our 40th anniversary awards are a chance to celebrate the businesses and individuals making a real difference to Birmingham’s Asian business community.
“With the deadline now extended to 8 November, I would encourage businesses across our Chamber network to take this opportunity to put themselves forward, whether they are building a lasting legacy, driving innovation or making a positive impact in their community.
“You do not need to be an ABCC member to apply, and there is no entry fee, so we want to hear from businesses of all sizes and sectors.”
