It would not be Christmas without the MTM Awards! These awards recognise the achievements of businesses and volunteers from black and minority ethnic backgrounds across the South West and beyond. People from backgrounds as diverse as the Ukrainians and Nepalese joined those from Africa, the Carribean, Middle East and South East in an evening of entertainment. The glittering Gala Awards was attended by Mrs Peaches Golding OBE (Lord-Lieutenant for Bristol), Mr Charlie Wyld (High Sheriff for Bristol), Cllr Jos Clarke (Lord Mayor for Bristol), Mr Tim Bowles (Mayor for the West of England), mayors from seven towns across the region and business leaders, each presenting an award to a deserving candidate. The Lifetime Achievement Award went to Amjid Ali for his tireless work in business, blood and organ donation and other community activities.
