Oldham governors

I have a strong relationship with members of the Oldham community and recognise the communities needs. I am willing to work hard for them in creating a better environment.

• I am a professional in the health and fitness industry. I have 2 specialist titles in weight loss and corrective exercise.
• I have a GP referral exercise qualification.
• Personal trainer qualification.
• Degree in Criminology and criminal justice.

I work with a number of organisations promoting health and fitness, helping people to overcome illnesses and have an active lifestyle myself. I speak 3 languages and work in all areas of Oldham. I volunteer for charities within the area that support homeless people. I have worked with people of 5 years to 70 years, making a positive difference in their lives.

My experience with working with members of the public and my expertise would be greatly beneficial for the people of Oldham. I want to see more people leading a healthy and joyous life.

My qualifications and knowledge can be used for the community.

I am proud to represent the people of Oldham and help to ensure they get the best service possible, having been a patient myself due to a heart-attack. 

I currently work in the Civil Service (Home Office) as an assistant director in procurement and contracts, having worked in central government over 30 years. I am from an ethnic minority background (Bangladeshi) and was previously a governor and trustee for the Harmony Trust Academy. I want to support and help give back to the community that I live in whilst representing their views and opinions to ensure their needs are met. I am married with 4 children and my elderly mothers lives with us.        

I have strong leadership and management skills, that is tapered to the needs of stakeholders whether it is speaking to the ordinary citizen, or to people at CEO/director level.

I am a confident person and present myself in a very professional manner at all times. I am not afraid to ask questions and dig deeper to fully understand problems and issues, look for solutions through consultation and resolve in and achieve the best optimal result. I would like to gain an insight on how the trust works, from senior management level to the role of the porter in particular what value for money and services are provided to the people of Oldham. 

I am pleased to represent the community of Oldham and offer myself in further enhancing service level. My qualification and experience will certainly help in value creation for the community.

I am a chartered accountant and chartered public finance accountant and have rich experience in problem solving, risk management, internal controls, audit, corporate governance, digital solutions, human resource management.

In addition to my work experience of more than 33 years (28 years in the banking industry as CFO, CIA, COO and CEO), I remained engaged with organisations rendering philanthropic work and health care. During university I had been a regular blood donor to vitally important patients suffering from thalassmenia. I also donate funds to Cancer Research providing free cancer treatment to people.

Since September 2021, I ‘ve moved to Oldham and have been looking for an organisation to continue my aims and objectives for community services; which mobilises resources in the best possible way, chalks out strategy for effectively tackling the felt needs and problems, and arouses interest among people in the welfare of community as a whole.

I’m a quick learner with a “can do attitude” and can speak English, Urdu and Punjabi. I have experience in dealing with people suffering from covid, autism and schizophrenia.

To me the road to a smart future for the greater good is arduous but reachable when we are determined to apply our collective wisdom.
