The list was unveiled at the annual Powerlist Black Excellence Awards held at the Savoy in London on Friday 28th October 2022. It was a night of double celebration for Tobun as GV Group was also awarded Business of the Year.
Throughout the year GV Group has delivered 24 million food items with a value of more than £300m to schools, caterers and wholesales. Tobun is a council member at The Open University, a lifetime patron of hospitality charity Springboard and was on the board of Middlesex University.
He is also chair of Inspirational You, which provides guidance to people from a BAME background starting out in business through a range of initiatives, such as work experience, business mentoring and business workshops.
Tobun commented: “I’m honoured to be on the Powerlist with so many incredible people, for the fifth year. It means so much to me. I hope it serves as an inspiration to young people to show what can be achieved with hard work and determination. I wouldn’t be able to achieve what I have without my incredible team at GV Group and I want to thank them for their continued dedication.”
