Asian Trader Awards 2022 | Asian Media Group | TBA

Back in Black (tie) last November after the lockdowns lifted, the Asian Trader Awards celebrated its 32nd year in style at the Park Plaza Westminster Hotel in London, directly across the river from Big Ben.

Now it’s time to start preparing for an even bigger and more glittering event – the 2022 Asian Trader Awards!

Do not delay – if you haven’t so far, go and register (it’s very quick to do) and then browse our fabulous categories to see which ones you would like to put yourself up for, and you can enter for as many wards as you want.

As well as trophies and glory, you can look forward to a fantastic evening of great music, delicious food, entertainment from a celebrity compere, and a VIP guest speaker – all at one of the most prestigious venues London has to offer, right on the River Thames
