NRI turns Member of British Empire
Ranger was made the member for his services to the Asian community.
Leading NRI industrialist Rami Ranger, was on Saturday made a Member of the British Empire (MBE) for his services to business and to the British Asian community.
Dr Ranger, Chief Executive of Sun Oil Ltd had earlier received the Queens Award for Export Achievement some years ago for exporting British products to over 40 countries, was honoured on the occasion of Queen Elizabeth II's Birthday.
Dr Ranger has been working hard within the Conservative Party and encouraging the party to become more approachable and "Asian" friendly.
He has been advocating that it is high time the Conservative party started treating the Asians equally and fairly, as this would enable them to progress within the party.
Born in Gujrawala, now in Pakistan, Rami moved to India during partition.
He arrived in the UK in 1971 and in 1987 he started his company Sea Air and Land from a shed with a capital of just 2 pounds. In 1995 he started his marketing company Sun Oil Ltd. Both companies have gone from strength to strength.
