AIA council member Sharon Kaur Jandu OBE has been awarded an OBE for her services to international trade.
Sharon was recognised in the New Year’s Honours list, and is among the 1,107 people recognised in the first honours under King Charles III.
Sharon is the founder of the Northern Asian Powerlist and Northern Asian Power Think Tank, and a director of the Yorkshire Asian Business Association. She is also part of a trade mission heading to India in the first quarter of 2023.
Sharon Kaur Jandu OBE said: “It is a privilege to have been given an OBE for services to international trade. The one thing that I really do feel proud of is how we’ve really brought the community together.”
“If you look at the Northern Asian Powerlist, it has got people from all different backgrounds and parts of the community, from businessmen to social changemakers who work with women fleeing domestic violence. They are all in the same room on the same platform, celebrating the success of the community.”
Philip Turnbull, AIA Chief Executive, said: “I want to congratulate AIA Council Member Sharon Jandu OBE for being awarded her OBE. It is great to see her being recognised for the work she does through her roles at Northern Asian Powerlist, Northern Asian Power Think Tank, and Yorkshire Asian Business Association.”
“She is an asset to AIA’s Council, strengthening it with her experience and understanding around equality, diversity and inclusion.”
