UK Daily Telegraph named NRI Raj Chatha
is one of the "40
most successful young entrepreneurs"
Raj Chatha heads up European Food Brokers, a highly profitable
beer-and-wine business, with turnover of more than £100m.
Chatha's father was an immigrant from Punjab, India, and
became a retailer in Halifax, West Yorkshire. Chatha junior
set up his wholesaling business in 1991 from scratch with
no backing from any banks or family. He is now based in
Walsall.
He says being worth nearly £50m is meaningless to
him, and he has no intention of selling out. "We're
very focused, we're working long hours and looking at driving
the business."
His advice to other young entrepreneurs is: "Be focused
and do your research."
