AN ANNUAL Bradford business event returned home this year, after a period of being held at different venues.

Bradford's Aagrah Restaurant Group welcomed the 37th annual Aagrah Business Dinner back to The Midpoint Suite, where over 400 guests - including CEOs and Managing Directors from the region - were in attendance, on 4 November.

The black-tie dinner was centred around contemporary business topics, while this year's beneficiary charity was the Leeds-based Children's Heart Surgery Fund, as a total of £84,000 was raised on the evening.

Guests were treated to a 5-course meal, as well as live music and entertainment.

Keynote speaker Andrew Dixon, leader of the Bradford City of Culture Bid for 2025, also delivered a passionate speech on the city.

Aagrah's Managing Director Mohammed Aslam MBE, DL, said "It's great to see so many people here, we are truly grateful to everyone for their support and in particular our lead partners, Cobra, Kingfisher, LWC and Tilda, without whom this would not be possible."
