History

It focuses on British Bangladeshi's support for the economy and highlights individual accomplishment, contributions and achievements[3] of successful, influential and wealthy members of the Bangladeshi community from various sectors and professions.[4] It lists over 200 profiles of British Bangladeshis, including medics, journalists, lawyers, businessmen, accountants and others from various walks of life. A number are picked out to receive awards for their exceptional work.[3]

Since 2008, the British Bangla Media Group[3] and the Bangla Mirror Group have been publishing the British Bangladeshi Who's Who. The publication and event was the original idea of Mohammed Abdul Karim and his son Shahadoth Karim who was the editor in chief and editor.[1][2][5][6][7] British Bangladeshi Who's Who is currently run by Mohammed Abdul Karim every year.
