The British Business Awards (BBA) is an important set of honours that is awarded every two year to highlight the strong links between China and the UK and to reward innovation, enterprise and endeavour in the fields of business, education and corporate social responsibility. The BBA is led by the British Chamber of Commerce in China and is supported by the British Council China, British Embassy and several other UK organisations in China.

As we did previously, the British Council China sponsors the ‘Alumnus of the Year Award’ of BBA again in to recognise and reward British or mainland Chinese nationals under 45 years of age with a degree from a British university and can demonstrate the positive influence that UK education and culture has had on their chosen occupation. Judges will look for evidence of individualism, knowledge and skill, as well as enthusiasm, confidence and independence.

It also presents a good opportunity to raise profile of UK education among wider Chinese public. Please see more details about BBA on its official website of BBA at www.britishbusinessawards.cn or www.alumniuk.org.cn

The closing date for entries is 27 August 2014.
