The High Commissioner's message marks the 18th BCA Awards and the association's 65th anniversary.
I am very pleased to learn that once again Bangladesh Caterers Association (BCA), the pioneer institution of British Bangladeshi caterers since the 1960s, is organising the "BCA 18th Awards, Annual Dinner 2025 and the Celebration of BCA's 65th Anniversary" on 9th November 2025. I particularly commend the BCA that as in previous years, the prestigious BCA awards will recognise and honour the highest achievers in the curry industry for their new ideas, innovations and dedication to promoting Bangladeshi curry as a British culinary heritage.
I recall here with great pride the BCA's philanthropy leadership during the pandemic years as well as their networking and lobbying with the UK government and industry that have greatly incentivized the curry industry to remain pandemic resilient. I believe BCA and its industry leaders, restaurant owners and curry connoisseurs will remain united, and work together as in the past with patience, courage and entrepreneurial acumen to keep the curry industry alive and afloat. The BCA awards, in this respect, will continue to inspire all Bangladeshi stakeholders in the UK's curry industry and provide the most befitting platform to showcase its culinary excellence in UK's hospitality sector as well as new opportunities and challenges.
As the patron of BCA, I sincerely pledge to provide all-out support to the BCA's good work and to continue to remain their active partner.
I wish the "BCA 18th Awards, Annual Dinner 2025 and the Celebration of BCA's 65th Anniversary" a grand success.
