A SUCCESSFUL businessman and philanthropist is set to inspire members of the Bradford Hospitals’ Charity 100 Club with his success story and advice.

Ugandan-born Dr Manoj Joshi arrived in the UK aged 21 and went on to successfully balance a career in the pharmaceutical industry with voluntary and charity work.

He is passionate about interfaith collaboration and will talk about the benefits of businesses working with their community and health service at the next 100 Club event.

“A healthy mind and body is good for business,” said Dr Joshi, who is a Deputy Lord Lieutenant of West Yorkshire and received an MBE last year.

“We can collaborate by giving money, our time and our intellect. “This is our NHS, so let’s give in whatever capacity we can to make it a rewarding experience for all.”

The 100 Club is an exclusive membership organisation of businesses who wish to network while supporting their NHS hospitals.

The next event will take place on Thursday, July 13, at the Silk Warehouse, Manningham Mills Community Centre, Bradford.

It will see members - and guests who are interested in joining - networking with doctors, nurses, senior executives from Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and Bradford Hospitals’ Charity colleagues.
