The shortlist has been revealed for an awards scheme celebrating the best of Asian business across the West Midlands.
The Asian Business Chamber of Commerce will recognise achievement across nine different categories before one of those winners is chosen as the overall business of the year.
Lillian Elekan is head of membership for the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce, which owns the Asian Chamber, and chairwoman of this year's judging panel.
She said: "The judges were faced with a difficult task of whittling down some truly outstanding entries for the awards.
"It was a privilege to read through all the applications alongside the judging panel and the very high quality of entries highlights the calibre of businesses in the Greater Birmingham region.
"We can't wait for all the shortlisted nominees to be able to come together and celebrate their achievements at the awards night."
The awards ceremony is set to take place on November 19 at The National Conference Centre in Solihull.
