Winners of Black British Business Awards 2021 revealed
Sophie Chandauka, co-founder and chair of the awards, reported: “This year’s winners are not only carrying out extraordinary issues in their personal organisations, but also their particular life.”
She praised the “ingenuity, resilience and industrial savviness” of this year’s rising stars and reported the winning senior leaders “epitomise” the indicating of role styles: “They are top considerable industrial features although acting as smart counsel for their buyers, boards of directors and rising expertise all through the pandemic and interval of social unrest.”
Segun Osuntokun of regulation firm Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner was named black British businessperson of 2020 at last year’s ceremony.
In an job interview with The Telegraph, Mr Osuntokun termed for small business leaders to make sure the momentum powering Black Lives Issue and improving variety in the City was not just “a moment”.
