The president of a deaf club has been given a business award for his work in the community.

Asif Iqbal MBE, President of Harrow Asian Deaf Club (HADC), was given the special award in civil, social and community service at the Asian Lite Business Awards.

Mr Iqbal won for his contribution to the community, especially in Harrow, at a ceremony in Manchester last week.

He said: “I was honoured as it was in recognition of my work in Harrow with HADC.

“I hope by winning, this would be seen as an inspirational for many others who work so hard to achieve better community cohesion and to encourage people to develop their new skills and knowledge of engaging with the local communities.”
