The 2013 list is the second publication of the BBPower100 which is a celebration of leading British Bangladeshi figures who are helping shape Britain for the better with their ideas, example, talent and success.
The BBPower 100 was created by Abdal Ullah and Ayesha Qureshi MBE. This year’s list will consist of 100 people and organisations across 20 categories. The list is independently judged and ranked by a panel lead by Iqbal Wahhab OBE and Syed Nahas Pasha.
The 2013 BBPower 100 will also celebrate and recognise the contribution of the British Bangladeshi community to the success of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Abdal Ullah, Founder of BBPower100 said:“The publication of the 2013 BBPower 100 promises to reveal more talent, inspiration and success from the British Bangladeshi community. We aim to highlight and celebrate the strengths and dynamism of this often overlooked community.”
Ayesha Qureshi MBE, Editor of BBPower100 said:
“We’re really proud that this year’s BBPower 100 will recognise the contribution of the British Bangladeshi community to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. From helping to win the bid to mesmerising the world in the opening ceremony, with the many gamesmakers and torchbearers in between, this small but vibrant community has amazing 2012 Games stories with which to inspire the next generation.”
