The University of Westminster is partnering with the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s (LCCI) Black Business Association (BBA) and Asian Business Association (ABA) across 2024.
The BBA and ABA aim to improve the prosperity of ethnic minority owned businesses and employees in the capital by breaking down barriers, addressing inequalities, enabling connections and empowering business and people through access to vital tools.
The goals of the BBA and ABA align with our EDI commitments so we are delighted to be partnered with the associations to help them to deliver on their mission.
As a principal partner, we provide support and advice and are excited to be working with London’s Black and Asian business communities on a variety of events and engagement opportunities to further their mission.
Since our sponsorship of the programme in January 2023 the University has worked with numerous LCCI members to fill job vacancies, support students through employability programmes and supply services.

The BBA and ABA hold a series of events throughout the year featuring keynote speakers showcasing success and offering practical advice, insight and inspiration focusing on key challenges and key issues. Register for upcoming events below.
