Shahid Azeem (DL High Sheriff of Surrey 2020-21)
Shahid Azeem has been named in Top 100 Most Influential Muslims in the UK, Shahid’s story is remarkable, one of humble beginnings to becoming a leading British Muslim. With no formal qualifications but a burning desire to succeed, Shahid has set up and run a string of successful multi-million pound businesses within the IT Industry, whilst at the same time investing greatly into youth empowerment and strengthening community relations particularly across faith groups with the Muslim community. Shahid is more than your usual businessman hence, unsurprisingly; he was appointed Deputy Lieutenant of Surrey and listed in The Independent’s Top 100 Happy List of people who make life better for others in the UK, making the front-page headlines.
Shahid has won the Asian Entrepreneur of the Year, Surrey Business Personality of the Year and Pakistani Entrepreneur 2010. He remarkably rescued Aldershot Football Club from administration with the vision of making it the most diverse and community focused club in the country, starting with using it as a community hub as well as galvanising the local Nepalese diaspora, resulting in him winning the Inspire 2014 and 2016 Business in the Community Award. Shahid setup Mosaic South East in 2008 Acting as a positive role model for youth and now he is Mosaic Ambassador, a Prince’s Charity which tackles educational and social disadvantage through mentoring.
