An entrepreneurial individual who has five years of experience in Marketing, with a focus on digital and made the career choice of working with brands large and small, that have been disruptive or innovative with their marketing strategies. Having an agency background, he has been fortunate to work with B2B and B2C clients. 

Abdul now operates on a freelance capacity where he consults businesses on Digital Marketing opportunities. Abdul has worked with small localised businesses and international eCommerce retailers that turnover in excess of £100m. Abdul's specialism is in user experience, customer retention and online reputation management.

In 2011-2012 Abdul was commissioned by Virgin Media Pioneers to conduct research for Government on the support needed to encourage youth enterprise. This research was submitted as the 'Control Shift Report' in November 2011. He focused his research on Seed Capital (early stage investment) where he was quoted "I could get a loan to do a two year degree in enterprise, but not a loan to start my own business." This became the foundation of the Youth Investment Fund. 

The Youth Investment Fund received £10m in March 2012 to start a pilot scheme in making finance available for 16-25 year old aspiring entrepreneurs. The scheme is now known as the Start-Up Loans Company and currently has a budget of £117.5m.
