Best in Britain Awards - Top in Scotland
Britannia Spice has scooped top awards at the prestigious Best in Britain Awards. The "BIBAs" recognise the best ethnic restaurants each year and once again Britannia Spice was named in the Top 30 in the UK.
Scotland showed very well in the UK-wide awards and one of the top awards - BIBA Industry Personality of the Year - went to one of Scotland's favourite adopted sons, Dr Wali Tasar Uddin, chairman and chief executive of Britannia Spice. He stepped up to accept the trophy for his tremendous achievements in British/Bangladeshi relationships, charity and, of course, commerce with his Britannia Spice restaurant.
The 14th BIBA event in London on Monday 26 June, welcomed the great and the good of the ethnic restaurant, food and drink industry in the annual scramble for recognition for another year's hard work and achievement.
Afterwards Dr Uddin said: "I'm delighted to receive this recognition for my role in the restaurant industry and to see Britannia Spice named Best in Scotland. Over the past six years the team at Britannia Spice has aspired to be innovative with our multinational cuisine. And we are proud of the standards we have set, while playing a key role in the Scottish community. We now looking to the future with creative new ideas which reflect the multi-cultural community we thrive in."
