British Bangladeshi Power & Inspiration 100 (previously known as British Bangladeshi Power 100 and often abbreviated as BBPower100) is an annual publication listing the 100 leading

British Bangladeshi figures. It was established in 2012 and also holds an annual launch ceremony in London, England
.

Overview

The British Bangladeshi Power 100 is a celebration of leading British citizens of Bangladesh origin who are helping shape Britain for the better with their ideas, example, talent, success[1] and inspiration.[2] It is a who's who, which recognises the achievements in the Bangladeshi community including sports personalities, politicians, business people and legal eagles.[2] In 2013, the list was renamed British Bangladeshi Power & Inspiration 100 to emphasise the role models featured on the list.[3]

Panel

The British Bangladeshi Power was created and edited by Tower Hamlets Cllr Abdal Ullah, who was the first British Bangladeshi to serve on the Metropolitan Police Authority and is a Labour elected councillor[4] for St Dunstan's and Stepney Green, and Ayesha Qureshi MBE, who had a prominent role in the 2012 Olympics bid.[5][6]

Categories

Each category has 10 positions which are listed in rank order. The rankings have been determined by an advisory committee of leading Bangladeshi UK based newspaper editors headed by chief advisor, Mohammed Nobab Uddin, Editor, Janomot Bengali Newsweekly, the oldest ethnic newspaper. The British Bangladeshi Power 100 is consulted on widely amongst a selected group of leading figures in the community,[7] including Iqbal Wahhab OBE and Syed Nahas Pasha.[1] Each person or organisation named on the list has earned their place on merit after a confidential, impartial and thorough debate.[8]

In 2012, the list was broken down into 10 different categories covering business, catering, education, community and voluntary organisations, media, politics and as well as the women who have made a mark.[7] In 2013, the list was extended into 20 different categories including politics, entrepreneur, brand, policy/civil service, legal, academic/think tanker, medical, the city/finance, community activist, media, culture, community personality, restaurateur, professional, networks and associations, sport, religious figure, 30 and under, community organisation, and emerging influence.[9][10][11][12] 35 new entries were added into the list. All those categorised under "Emerging Influence" were new inclusions and there were no new entries into the category "Entrepreneur" and "Restaurateur".[9][12]

In 2014, for first time, the general public participated in the selection process by nominating their most inspiring figures in British Bangladeshi society. The Judges awarded the People's Choice places to five people who demonstrated examples of success and inspiration.[13][14][15][16][17] Also in 2014, the list includes "10 Inspirational Bangladeshis Around The World", a top ten of Bangladeshis around the world.[13]

In 2015, two new categories – the Critics' Choice and Westminster Hopefuls – highlighting British Bangladeshi individuals who have been selected as prospective parliamentary candidates for the next general election, were introduced.[18]
