BCA (established in 1960) is the umbrella organization 01 approximately 12.000 British-Bangladeshi restaurateurs in the UK. It represents the Catering Industry run by the Bangladeshis, which employs more than 90,000 people, mostly Bangladeshi origin, with an estimated yearly turnover of £3.5 billion.
