In speaking about the award, Founder of Sterling Media, Teji Singh says, “I am truly honoured and humbled that Sterling Media has been recognised for its efforts. Multiculturalism and diversity are powerful references, and over the years have found greater acknowledgement across all sectors of society. We have always believed that diverse issues should be given mass awareness and not be confined to niche channels, and Sterling is evermore committed to providing them a platform.”

The company was founded in 1995 by Teji Singh, one of the first women from an Ethnic minority background to do so in the UK. Although an international mainstream agency, Sterling Media has been pivotal in promoting diversity and culture on an international scale across all fraternities.
