The West Midlands Minority Ethnic Achievement Awards would not be possible without the support of our sponsors, supporters, and interested well wishers. Our supporters “These awards are an excellent opportunity to celebrate and promote excellence in our communities. By celebrating our successes we not only recognise the dedication and generosity of others, but by focusing on what we have achieved we remind ourselves that change is possible. I am committed to ensuring stronger communities, communities that will help our country come through these difficult times faster and stronger. The winners of these awards will be an inspiration to everyone trying to build a fairer society."Rt Hon Gordon Brown MP, Prime Minister
“Awards ceremonies are a great way to recognise achievement. Not only does this boost morale, but it also helps inspire a new generation. The West Midlands Minority Ethnic Achievement Awards are a recognition of the immense contribution which Britain black and minority ethnic communities make to all aspects of our society. It is vital that we build a strong society, ensure responsive public services, and create a strong economy. By celebrating success in different parts of private, public, and voluntary life I am sure these awards will play their part in helping to achieve those goals."Rt Hon David Cameron MP, Conservative Party Leader
"As Chair of the West Midlands Select Committee, I have seen first hand the effects of the recent economic downturn on a range of people. Unfortunately, it is often the most disadvantaged in society who are most affected and that includes large numbers of people from minority ethnic backgrounds. As such, any recognition of work that aims to support those communities must be applauded. But the recession shouldn’t make us lose sight of the vibrancy and dynamism of the region. The West Midlands is continually developing links with our international partners as we look to position ourselves in a global market. These awards will help us show the Midlands is a vibrant and successful region in which everyone is encouraged to achieve their full potential."Richard Burden MP, Chair West Midlands Select Committee Our sponsors
