6th September 2010, 12:53pm

The Bangladesh Caterers Association (BCA), UK's only governing body for the burgeoning curry industry, has officially opened nominations to find the nation's best curry house.

The winners of this year's prestigious awards will be honoured at the BCA Awards 2010, taking place on Sunday 10th October 2010 in Central London.

Celebrating its Golden Jubilee this year, the BCA will welcome an array of high profile dignitaries, MPs, VIPs and celebrities to celebrate the announcement of the esteemed Best Caterer of the Year Award across ten UK regions.

Nominations will be shortlisted by a select panel of judges comprising industry leaders and stalwarts to select the winners.

In addition, the evening will acknowledge the monumental year for the UK curry industry as BCA celebrates 50 glorious years since its inception and also the 200th year since the first ever curry restaurant opened its doors to the UK public. Both milestone occasions will be celebrated in style and grandeur at this year's event.

The BCA represents 12,000 British-Bangladeshi restaurants across the UK and was established in 1960 to represent the Catering Industry run by the ethnic Bangladeshis.

At present, the industry employs more than 100,000 people, mostly Bangladeshi in origin, with an estimated yearly turnover of £4 billion.
