Naz Panju won the prestigious award of 'Creative Entrepreneur of the Year' at the British Muslim Awards in June 2025.
In her words:
'I am overwhelmed with gratitude for being chosen as the recipient of this award by the British Muslim Awards!
Over the years the incredible British Canadian International Education (BCIE) family of staff have worked with me to change the lives of literally thousands of our students. Working with them to bring their dreams to fruition, excel through their careers and contribute back to their often deprived (and third world) home countries, has been one of the greatest honours of my life.
Coming from a background where I almost didn't get educated at university, to a point where I can extend this privilege to thousands today, makes my career in Education and years long commitment to this cause so very close to my heart.
To have this acknowledged by the most prestigious Muslim awards organisation in the UK makes me deeply grateful for this incredible achievement.
Thank you for recognizing BCIE Ltd and my contributions to the Education industry in Britain

Your recognition reinforces my commitment to continue to make a positive impact in Education.'
