Undoubtedly the biggest and most spectacular awards ceremony on the British hospitality calendar, the British Curry Awards was established in 2005, and is organised by industry bible Spice Business magazine. There are 12,000 Indian restaurants all over the UK and Ireland with an annual turnover of £4.2 billion yearly and directly employing around 100,000 people. As the Rt Hon Prime Minister David
Cameron, who was chief guest at the British Curry Awards 2009 said, "Look around tonight. We have the finest curry restaurants; a record 40,000 nominations, these are the Oscars of the spice industry, Enam Ali and all of you, you should be incredibly proud of what you have achieved". You will be celebrating industry success alongside stars from the worlds of film, dance, entertainment, industry and, of course, cooking and treated to a night of drama, tension and entertainment. Last year 1,600 guests attended the sell-out event. This is also an opportunity for companies to raise their global profile, not only at a national level but international as well because the 10th British Curry Awards will be beamed to 150 countries across Europe, North America and Asia by various TV channels making it a truly global event. The countdown has started for this year’s Awards ceremony, which will take place on Monday 1st December 2014 at the Battersea Evolution, Battersea Park, London.
