In this edition of the bottom line, we'll be looking at the relationship between migration and entrepreneurship,

hearing from three entrepreneurs who came to Britain from overseas.

Hello and welcome to the programme.

Now, immigration has been quite an issue in the UK over the last few years.

We're not going to delve into all the arguments about it here.

But we are going to focus on one aspect of it today, migrants and entrepreneurship.

Many household named businesses such as Marks and Spencer, EasyJets and Cobra Beer,

were established by immigrants. So there's a pattern of entrepreneurial outsiders making it big here. They may arrive

with all sorts of disadvantages, but the very nature of entrepreneurial types is that they never let

an obstacle stand in their way. Indeed, they often turn it into an opportunity. So let us meet my

three guests, each arrived in the UK and went on to create their own business.

We'll hear their stories and look at some of the general patterns that emerge from those tales.

And I want to start with Surinda Aurora, who's the founder and chairman of Aurora Group.

Surinda, we'll hear your background shortly.

But for now, just tell us about Aurora Group.

Evan, the Aurora Group consists of mainly three businesses, the first business being the hotels,

and we have hotels mainly around the airports, Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansard, Glasgow and so on.

And then we have property business, which is about a third of our business. So we are

at Heathrow and Gatwick, the largest property owner after the airport. The third part of the

business is developments. So we do a lot of developments for our own sites and for our customers.

When you say development, is that actual construction management?

Correct, yeah.
