The Asian Business Director's Network (ABDN), with the help of Connect Yorkshire launched its South Yorkshire operation in Sheffield. It was a well supported event and it was really good to meet and talk with many businesses from the Sheffield community.
The event, held at Aroma restaurant aimed to give Asian-led companies access to the mainstream business community. Lynn Harrison, Business Link partnership manager, discussed the Train to Gain proposition; and Insider’s editor Richard Stirling informed that he wants to receive more business news from within the Sheffield community and I, all spoke at the event.
Arshad the chairman of ABDN, made a fantastic speech that was inspiring, he described ABDN as being, “a bit like chicken tikka masala, served with Yorkshire pud.”
He also added; “The ethos of the ABDN is to break through the barriers. We want BME (Black and Minority Ethnic) businesses to break out of dealing with their own communities because that is where the business is, that is where the need is.”
We are looking forward to working with members of ABDN who are looking to raise investment to help grow their business.
We do hope that Connect is not perceived to be Leeds centric; and to reiterate - we are not! This years plan is to hold a total of seven events in Sheffield this Autumn; starting from the 5th October. Don’t miss your opportunity to join us; further details will be displayed on our events page shortly.
