The Kent region marked as the very first region of the British Bangladeshi Caterers Association (BBCA), celebrating the remarkable achievements of Bangladeshi restaurant owners in the area. On June 11, 2023, a significant milestone was reached with the formation of a new committee. This committee of 16 members elected Riaz Ali as president, Ripon Khan as secretary, and Ershad Ali as treasurer. Their leadership underscores the association’s commitment to the growth and success of its members.
Under the new committee’s guidance, the BBCA in Kent has unveiled an ambitious plan for the upcoming year. This plan serves as both a roadmap for the association and a promise of a prosperous future for its members, focusing on securing better opportunities and ensuring the sector’s sustainable development.
The committee is engaging with industry stakeholders to create new opportunities for members. This involves forming partnerships with suppliers and exploring new markets to support the sector’s sustainability.
Sustainability is also a major focus, with the committee encouraging members to adopt eco-friendly practices. This initiative aims to reduce the environmental impact of catering businesses and position them as leaders in sustainable dining.
As the BBCA in Kent moves forward, it remains focused on building a supportive environment where Bangladeshi caterers can thrive. Through strategic initiatives, collaboration, and dedication to its members, the association is redefining what it means to be part of the vibrant British Bangladeshi catering community.
