Thanks.
In terms of proportions of Asians/Indians working in the companies I quoted, I think when I wrote high proportion it can be misleading. What I mean to say is there are a lot of(quite a few) Asians working there. In one of the firms I have worked in they employ approximately 4000 people across a number of buildings in London. The 3 floors I worked on in one building had approximately 400 people, of which I'd say 30 were Asian. So although there are a lot of Asians, it still makes up a low percentage of the workforce. I wouldn't say Asians make up more than 15 percent, its just that we see more because the firms employ more people as a whole.
Maybe these percentages are reflected nationwide.
