The Tolly Boy brand, last year, ran a grassroots campaign to help the Bangladeshi and African communities in UK by supporting groups working towards education, social services, protection and counselling projects. The nationwide campaign saw Tolly Boy rice donate over £20,000 to these charities.

Oberoi, on receiving the award, said: “The campaign has demonstrated the perfect collaboration between the agency, Westmill and our largest wholesaler Wanis. We are proud to have a brand like Tolly Boy that can reach out to the community with a campaign like this. It’s the first time we carried out such a campaign and we are overwhelmed with the way it has worked out.”
