SSCOM GROUP-Tell us about yourself.... Ayaz - I’m best described as an interesting, exciting and witty person, with a friendly personality who likes to help people. Though I was born and bred in Leicester, my family roots come from Africa/India and I would like to visit there one day. I’m also single, I get on with all kinds of people/all walks of life and you could say I’m a cosmopolitan person. Also, I have an excellent memory apparently, according to a colleague of mine from my full-time work. SSCOM GROUP - What interests/hobbies do you have? Ayaz -I like watching Sport on TV, including Cricket & Football, Spending time on the Internet & E-mails, travelling, listening to music on CD and radio, cinema, dining out and raising money for charity. I’m also into factual and reality TV, comedy and reading non-fiction. I also love music, mainly 80’s and have a massive record collection from that era. In addition, I'm an armchair Leicester City Football Club supporter (as well as Leicester Tigers Rugby/Leics County Cricket Club and Leicester Riders Basketball)
SSCOM GROUP - What do you do/did for a living? Ayaz - I work full-time in the voluntary sector of which I enjoy, and have been in my current job since May 2005. Beforehand, I've worked on various temporary agency assignments, including in Customer Services, Call Centres, Receptionist and in the Retail sector. In addition, my past fund-raising events have included donating to Comic Relief back in February 1988 whilst a college student, spending 12 hours on as many buses as possible in Leicester in July 1992, taking part in a 12-hour "haunted dungeon experience" in April 1994, (which was re-surrected with the 'I'm a Scared Student' project), and a 24-hour radio broadcast at Bradford University in May 1995. ITV Telethon '92, LOROS, Shelter and the Bradford Burns Research Unit have all benefited from my fund-raising efforts over the last 20 years, in total, raising £1314 to date. I have also worked for quite a few Voluntary Organisations and have gained a lot of experience. It’s given me personal satisfaction and allowed me to develop my essential personal skills and other skills like confidence and inter-personal skills.
SSCOM GROUP - What do you get up to in your spare time? Ayaz - I go to Edinburgh every so often for the Group's second "catchment" area, otherwise I'm out and about, networking for SSCOM GROUP, and now look set to be even busier with the "Music Quiz" fund-raisers for LOROS. SSCOM GROUP - What/who inspires you? Ayaz - Certain celebrities, TV presenters and Radio DJs for their ability to build a rapport with the public and people who professionally raise funds, particularly Bob Geldof. I would love to make an impact for people like he has. The City of Edinburgh is a great inspiration just so vibrant not a moment to be bored! Also, not forgetting my family, friends (including those in Edinburgh who I've managed to "click" with, in such a short space of time!-you know who you are!), and those here in Leicester. SSCOM GROUP - Are there any questions that you wish we'd have asked? Ayaz - Yes: Why don't people take me more seriously? SSCOM GROUP - What’s the answer? Ayaz - Because it's a fear of the unknown and not being realistic. I can inspire anyone via my enthusiasm and zest for life!
