Ugandan Asian Awards 2007
Simtom Food Products scooped the ‘2007 Wholesaler of the Year’ award at the prestigious Ugandan Asians in Britain event held on Saturday 9 June, at the Maher Community Centre, in Ravensbridge Road, Leicester.
The event was organised in recognition of the outstanding commercial success by many Ugandan Asian industry champions who were forced to leave Uganda during the 1972 ‘Idi Amin’ anti-asian crackdown.
Jai Chandarana, MD of Simtom Food Products said: “Today’s honour is a fitting token of recognition for all the blood, sweat and tears that so many of us East African Asians have had to suffer during those dark days back in the 70’s. Our success today has been ‘birthed’ by the hard lessons we all had to learn.”
