This years edition promises to be more exciting and a more enhanced depiction of the community’s success and the achievements of individuals. The publication highlights some achievers who have received no previous exposure to British Bangladeshis and I feel proud that through this medium, namely the publication, we are able to bring these people to the forefront of our community’s attention as well as to the awareness of Britain. The awards are designed to recognise the efforts of those who have gone that extra mile and have dedicated large segments of their life or career to become successful and contribute immensely to society. I am under no illusion that this publication has reached perfection, however, with time and more effort I sincerely believe that we will continue to develop. Mohammed Abdul Karim (Goni) Editor-in-Chief British Bangladeshi 6 Who’s Who 2009 Editor’s Foreword After the launch of British Bangladeshi Who’s Who last June, I was delighted that the community received the publication positively. However, as with any publication, refinements were necessary to ensure that it was as reflective of the community’s achievements as possible and practicable. This year we have unearthed more success stories and high flyers that have inevitably made the 2009 edition of this publication more complete than the previous edition and in my opinion a great read. The idea is that the publication records accomplishments of individuals and showcases meritorious individuals to mainstream Britain. Moreover, it is the publication and the individual successes taken collectively that highlight the endeavours of the British Bangladeshi community as a whole. With the introduction of the awards this year, I felt that the publication can develop further and the concept of British Bangladeshi Who’s Who will be better presented. The awards are given to eminent individuals who we (the team) think deserve the recognition for the contribution they have made during the course of their careers, or those who are rising stars within the community. I hope you enjoy this year’s edition.

In the UK, the media’s persistent focus on finding anything and everything problematic with Islam or Muslims has, to some extent, entered the subconscious of many parts of British society. Sober thinking parts of the academia and intelligentsia are now getting quite perturbed about it. This makes the on-going work of the MCB even more critical and relevant in today's climate and in the latter part of this address I will say a few words about this.

    Talent. Success. Leadership inspired TALENT . SUCCESS . LEADERSHIP FOREWORD Chair of the Judging Panel Mr Iqbal Wahhab OBE Thirty years ago my first job was as a trainee reporter for The Asian Times. Arif Ali, the publisher, was fond of saying that minorities in the UK had to have the right to be “as good, as bad and as indifferent as everyone else”. It’s fair to say that some in the British Bangladeshi community have in the past condemned themselves in the last two categories. But whilst our youngsters face big challenges with toxic combination of criminalisation and radicalisation, we do ourselves a disservice by not celebrating the increasing number of good news stories and successes we have amongst us. From the East End of London, Sabirul Islam chose to put his entrepreneurial skills to great use and over the last year has become a global brand. Also from the east end and also now on the international stage is former extremist Ed Husain The word “inspiration” in the title of who travels the world speaking to Ayesha and Abdal’s great project governments about how we need to needs a catalyst to trigger it and go about making the world a safer that involves mentoring.

  • 2014 Wwwbbpower-Inspiration.Com TALENT | SUCCESS | LEADERSHIP
    TALENT . SUCCESS . LEADERSHIP 2014 wwwbbpower-inspiration.com TALENT | SUCCESS | LEADERSHIP Welcome to the 2014 edition of the British Bangladeshi Power & Inspiration Here you will find 100 bright, ambitious and successful British Bangladeshi names across 19 categories demonstrating the dynamic, entrepreneurial, philanthropic, pioneering and innovative nature of this community. The 20th category of the 2014 list is the “People’s Choice” where for the first time the general public were invited to nominate their most inspirational British Bangladeshi. The judges are delighted to announce the 5 unsung heroes of this category who serve to remind us of the strength and courage of individuals and the potential for the future. We are often asked why we produce this list and the answer lies with the word “inspiration”. The next generation is rising fast and we aim to be at the forefront of this revolution. Recent studies have shown that in GCSE exams taken at the age of 16, Bangladeshi girls now outperform their peers. On its own this is an amazing sound bite of achievement, but imagine what more could be achieved by providing strong, powerful role models and mentors for young girls (and boys!) from across all industries and categories that the BB Power & Inspiration represents. That is why following the success of our recent lawyers networking event, we will be hosting a series of “inspirational events” under the BB Power & Inspiration banner throughout 2014 for sectors such business and enterprise, medicine, public service and the arts. Please keep checking the website for further details. As if that wasn’t enough, it has become tradition that we do a little extra and so this year, please take a look at the 10 inspirational Bangladeshi figures who live away from our shores but who demonstrate our values of talent, success, leadership and are exceptional role models for all.
