Five new faces will join Bradford's Adeeba Malik on the Ethnic Minority Business Forum.
They will work alongside her to advise Minister for Trade and Industry Patricia Hewitt and her department on issues affecting ethnic minority-owned enterprise from access to finance to marketing solutions.
The EMBF was formed two years ago to ensure established ethnic minority business people and those just setting out have the best chance to run their companies successfully. Ms Malik is deputy chief executive of QED and a board member of Yorkshire Forward.
