| Awards for Excellence Iqbal Sacranie
Iqbal Sacranie receiving the award said: “It was a very pleasant surprise to receive this esteem award for two particular reasons. Firstly, it is in the name of such a great personality who is greatly admired for his outstanding courage and compassion during the conflict in Bosnia. Secondly, it represents recognition from the ordinary members of the community.”
