The heart of London played host to an amazing event as the Blocks2Bags team took the reins of the UK Black Business Show 2023 Launch Party, sponsored by Burberry. Held at a prestigious central London venue on October 2nd, 2023, this dynamic gathering marked the commencement of an exciting week dedicated to celebrating the achievements and contributions of Black business owners and professionals.
What Is UK Black Business Week?
The UK Black Business Week is unparalleled in its scale and scope. It stands as the most significant business show of its kind in the UK and Europe, offering a dedicated space for Black entrepreneurs and professionals to thrive. Founded by the visionary serial entrepreneur Raphael Sofoluke, it represents the first and only week in the UK exclusively devoted to Black entrepreneurship and professional excellence.
The annual conference and exhibition are carefully timed during October to coincide with Black History Month, adding an extra layer of significance to the event. The UK Black Business Week shines a spotlight on the remarkable achievements and contributions of Black businesses to the nation's economy. Attendees have the opportunity to gain invaluable insights and advice on entrepreneurship and leadership from some of the UK's leading Black business professionals.
Raphael Sofoluke, a serial entrepreneur and international speaker, founded the UK Black Business Show and the UK Black Business Week. His dedication to supporting Black entrepreneurs and professionals earned him recognition as one of Forbes' "25 Leading Black British Business People to Follow" in 2020.
