Commenting on his inclusion in the EMpower Ethnic Minority Role Model List 2020, Bungar said:
“Facilities management employers are demonstrating their commitments to improving diversity in many ways, but our story as a sector is not yet finished. Bringing different experiences and ways of thinking drives innovation, which is more critical than ever as we recover from the devastation of COVID-19.
“I’m honoured to have been recognised in this year’s EMpower list, and hope that my inclusion will inspire others to break down barriers, achieve and be the best that they can be.”
Satvir is a multi-award winning Managing Director where, as corporate adviser to Company Boards, he has completed many high profile UK and cross-border merger and acquisition transactions up to £100 million. He joined BDO Corporate Finance in 2005. Previously, he was M&A Director at a listed group and, prior to that, spent many years at Ernst & Young LLP in the Corporate Finance department. Satvir originally qualified as a Chartered Accountant with PwC in 1999.
In September 2015, Satvir was awarded ‘Professional of the Year’ at the landmark 15th annual Asian Achievers Awards 2015 which highlights the outstanding achievements and contributions of UK Asians across the business, media and community sectors.
