Some of the brightest stars of the Asian Business Community are to be recognised at the Lloyds TSB Jewel Awards, taking place on 7th November 2009 at London Hilton, Park Lane.

Rami Ranger, CEO Sun Mark and Sea & Land Forwarding Ltd has been nominated for the Business & Commerce Award, and Atul Pathak, Chairman Appt Corp Trading at Mcdonalds has been picked for the Retail, Franchise & Food Award.

Now in its seventh year, the awards will honour the achievements of the most talented individuals within the public and private sectors.

Lloyds TSB representatives will be on hand to offer strategic advice to SME's, corporates and individual entrepreneurs to ensure that they are best placed to survive and thrive during these uncertain times.

Speaking about the event, Mrs Kamel Hothi, Asian markets director, Lloyds TSB Corporate Markets, said: "For over half a century, the Asian community in Britain has been making a huge contribution to all aspects of life, not least the economy. Through our sponsorship of the Lloyds TSB Jewel Awards, we want to recognise the many achievements that make the community a source of inspiration to us all.

"This year has been a critical time for many businesses. Even in the face of current economic adversity, the Asian business community continues to set an example, inspiring the way forward and towards a more stable and secure economic future. 

"Much of the Asian business community's success is due to their cultural and community values, networks and social experiences, which have made them more resilient and supported them throughout."
