Public Notice - proposed new enterprise book

Greetings and trust you are safe and well. For centuries, like other minority ethnic groups, Africans have been contributing [and still are] to the cultural, economic and social fabric of Britain. In the first book of its kind, we will capture the enterprise rhythms of British Africans to this country’s economic history.
The profiles of British Africans (including Traditional, Indian, European and others of Mixed Heritage) to commercial, industrial, professions and civic sectors will be included in this publication. We will look at the origins of African entrepreneurship from 1793 to the present time. Case Studies will be included in this upcoming book to help readers understand and appreciate British African enterprise activities.
We plan to publish this ground-breaking book over the next year. We are therefore inviting people of British African descent to spend a few minutes completing a questionnaire so that we can the research findings to validate the importance and relevance of this piece of enterprise literature.
