Sikhs featured on front page of Magazines worldwide

This Time Singh's are being on the cover pages of two major magazine's :-

- Asian Wealth Magazine

-Forbes African Magazine

Peter Virdee is being featured on the cover page of Asian Wealth magazine. We would like to mention some of Peter background:-

For Peter, it was the property sector on an international level which attracted a trained biochemist with an eye for an opportunity. A founding partner of B&S Property, they manage assets over £4 billion globally. Then he diversified his interests, and today holdings in renewable energy (www.pvenergyltd.com), minerals trading (www.winckleytraders.com) and insurance brokerage (www.bircroft.co.uk) all speak to his experience of the international business environment.

Following on from the teachings of Guru Granth Sahib Ji, a seminal Sikh thinker who said "A place in God's court can only be attained if we do service to others in this world", Peter Virdee has taken his passion into the charitable sector. The Virdee Foundation(www.thevirdeefoundation.com), set up in 2011, aims to relieve the needs of women and children who have or are in danger of suffering mental, physical or sexual abuse.

Sikhism stands out among world religions as one of the most gender-neutral. This much is clear in the aims of the charities supported by Peter, but the fundamental premise behind his thinking in this regard is to change all people's lives for the better.

He is a patron of the NSPCC (www.nspcc.org.uk) and in support of this charity has played a substantial role as a donor in the building of Hargreaves Centre in Merseyside.

Peter is also on the board of the English National Opera, and proud to be its first Sikh Patron. He is also on the philanthropy advisory board of Coutts & Co. Just as charity in his chosen faith begins with caring for the family, and follows on from hard work, for Peter Virdee the attraction of successful business is all about engaging leadership around central human concerns.

As such, he continues to play a part in new business and philanthopic ventures, particularly ones that celebrate both his sense of being a Sikh, and being British.
