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 performing amazing issues in their individual organisations, but also their own lives.”

She praised the “ingenuity, resilience and industrial savviness” of this year’s increasing stars and reported the successful senior leaders “epitomise” the indicating of job versions: “They are primary substantial industrial functions while performing as clever counsel for their traders, boards of administrators and increasing expertise for the duration of the pandemic and interval of social unrest.”

In an interview with The Telegraph, Mr Osuntokun named for enterprise leaders to make sure the momentum powering Black Life Issue and bettering range in the Town was not just “a moment”.
