Kromek

Dr Arnab Basu, CEO of Kromek Group PLC, said: “Rishi Sunak is the 57^th occupant of number 10 Downing Street and the first British-Asian person to take on the role of prime minister. It is testament to the openness, benevolence and the principle of meritocracy that has been the foundation of modern Britain that his heritage is only an addendum to his talent and record, rather than being the focus.

“As a businessman of similar lineage, I have experienced the same welcome since I came to the UK as a student in 1996 and throughout my journey building Kromek, a technology business based in County Durham, with a mission to save lives and keep people safe. I wish the new prime minister the very best in his new role as he seeks to steady the ship and move Britain positively forward.”
