London, 30 April & Leeds, 12 May 2026
The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Ethnic Minority Business Owners, in collaboration with the King’s Award for Enterprise Office at the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade (DBIST),hosted a Parliamentary Outreach Breakfast at the House of Commons to encourage greater participation by Ethnic Minority Business Owners in the prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise.
The event, chaired by Dr Rupa Huq MP, Chair of the APPG, attracted a diverse range of business owners from across the UK, providing an opportunity to learn about the Award and the benefits of national recognition.
Previous King’s Award recipients Sunny Jain of A & J Education, Jay Shen of Transreport and Purnima Sen of Sparta Global joined Diana Chrouch OBE, Special Adviser to the APPG, for a discussion about the application process and the benefits of receiving the King’s Award for Enterprise.
Dr Ronni Savage OBE, representing the King’s Award for Enterprise Office, provided practical guidance on the Award and application process.
The event generated considerable interest, with many participants expressing an interest in applying for the King’s Award following the discussions. Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic business leaders attended from across the UK.
