Sponsor the 2024 ABC Awards

Our Awards ceremony, held annually, recognises dozens of finalists for their sustained and significant contribution to the lives and livelihoods of many. No other event in the North East has celebrated #InclusionByDefault quite this way!

ABC is a not-for-profit social enterprise that aims to connect, support and promote the Asian and wider communities. 

 

Since 2009 we have established ourselves as the go to representative body for the Asian business and wider community across the North of England working in partnership with Yorkshire & North West Asian business associations and nationally with the All Party Parliamentary Group for BAME Business.

For over 15 years ABC has championed inclusion and this must attend sell-out event showcases the #InclusionByDefault and #AWEsome (AsianWomenEnterprising) campaigns.  

 

The Asian Business Connexions Annual Awards and Dinner is, without doubt, the largest celebration and recognition of the Asian community from across the public, private and third sectors in the North East, attracting significant community, business and political leaders including international celebrities.  Please reach out if you are interested in getting involved for 2024.

#InclusionByDefault

With enterprising women failing to be recognised and identified, this is leading to a lack of role models for the younger generation or those looking to start their careers.

The AWEsome Campaign provides a platform for Asian women to be recognised for their work and achievements, helping others to overcome common barriers.
