Career
He began his career in enterprise support with a position funded by the Office of Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott, whose portfolio included urban regeneration and neighbourhood renewal. He had the remit for increasing access to business support services amongst deprived communities across London. He was also directing a Department For Trade and Industry initiative, [2] through the European Social Fund [3]. The aim was to provide skills training and support to London's retail sector.

The initiative was supported by renowned Islamic Scholar Dr Zaki Badwi.
