LONDON: British Prime Minister David Cameron today presented the Queen's Awards for international trade to leading NRI exporter Rami Ranger, founder Chairman of the Sun Mark Ltd, for an unprecedented fifth consecutive year.
"Rami, yours' is an extraordinary success story. It is great story by a British enterprise. Export success is absolutely vital for our country," Cameron said at the event organised at the factory site of Sun Mark Ltd near Southall.
Cameron said Sun Mark exported its products to 115 countries including China, India, Mexico, USA, Malaysia, Canada, France, Singapore and Germany.
"You are doing an excellent job." "We also recognise the contributions the British Asians are making to our country."
Cameron said he had travelled to India more than any other country, barring Brussels, and he was committed to building special relations with India. "It is a British dream. We want to see the ties grow more stronger."
India's High Commissioner to the UK, Ranjan Mathai, said he was "immensely proud" of the achievement of Ranger and added that India-UK trade is likely to double by next year.
Rami Ranger said winning the award for the fifth time has not been easy for him. "It is a dream come true."
Sun Mark received the Queen's Awards for an unprecedented fifth consecutive year.
"This is a unique achievement as no other British company to date has won five consecutive Queen's Awards and achieved this in competition with the very best in British business," he said.
Sun Mark has already won the award in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Hardyal Luther, President, India International Foundation, said: "Rami has brought pride and glory for Indians worldwide by his achievements. What he has done excels the very best and I am sure he will not rest on his laurels but achieve greater progress."
Bollywood actor Nana Patekar, leading NRI Labour MP and Chairman of the Britain's Home Affairs committee Keith Vaz, and prominent Labour MP Steven Pounds were among those present at the ceremony.
