Entrepreneur Excellence Award
Nasreen Karim
Platinum Partnership
 

Nasreen is a Bradford based businesswoman, solicitor and fundraiser. After leaving school with no qualifications, Nasreen decided to go back into education and in 1994 as a single mum and aged 25 enrolled on a Law degree at Manchester Metropolitan University. She juggled her parental responsibilities with her educational commitments and in 2000 through great financial hardship and personal adversity she qualified as a solicitor. In 2002 despite being offered a partnership at the firm she was working at, Nasreen left to broaden her horizons. Four years later Nasreen opened her own office in Bradford City Centre with four staff and in December of last year she took over a 40 year old practice in Leeds City Centre employing a further three people. In 2008 she also launched the UK's premier Halal hampers company 'Hiba Hampers'. The company has teamed-up with some of the world's finest manufacturers to produce bespoke and exclusive hampers for any occasion..
