Asian Women of Achievement Awards 2016 Shortlist Announced
The event in its 17th year will be held in association with NatWest and include stars from the world of UK Business, entrepreneurs, sports and community, recognising both high-achieving and high-potential women.
The Asian Women of Achievement Awards, co-founded by Pinky Lilani CBE DL in 1999, were conceived to celebrate the often unsung Asian heroines of British life. Such women make a huge contribution in fields as diverse as business, entrepreneurship and social and humanitarian work. These awards, are their moment in the spotlight.
