Bestway Group Board changes
A message from Sir Anwar Pervez, OBE H Pk , Chairman, Bestway Group:
I recall fondly the excitement I felt when preparing for the opening of our first shop in 1963 and our first wholesale depot in 1976. I did not think then that, in over six decades we would be the largest independent wholesaler in the UK. Let alone that Bestway Group would grow to become a diversified multinational business with interest across multiple sectors.
As the founder of this business my overriding priority is to give the Board of Directors the best chance to succeed and for the business to flourish for the benefit of future generations.
Our businesses are in robust health. Our opportunities far exceed our commercial challenges. We have every reason to be optimistic about the future.
Therefore, from the 1st of July 2024 to ensure a smooth transition and to consolidate Bestway Group’s leadership positions in the industries we operate in, the Board has approved and endorsed the following changes:
- Sir Mohammed Anwar Pervez OBE H Pk to be appointed as Chairman Emeritus of the Bestway Group,
- The Lord Zameer Mohammed Choudrey CBE SI Pk to be appointed Chairman of the Bestway Group,
- Mr Haider Zameer Choudrey to be appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of the Bestway Group.
The above decisions are wholly and solely based on merit and with the underlying belief that under the above leadership team our businesses would continue to flourish for the benefit of future generations.
It is my long-held belief that Zameer and Haider have the right blend of experience; ingenuity and dynamism to take Bestway Group forward.
Under Zameer’s selfless stewardship the Group has transformed from a regional player to one of the largest, diversified British multinational conglomerates. Zameer embodies the Bestway values of hard work, sincerity in dealings and service to the community.
Additionally, to strengthen the Board of Directors, Mr Naser Janjua Khan is to be appointed as a Director to the Board of Bestway Group. Naser has been with the business for over twenty years with great deal of experience across our UK and overseas businesses.
I am truly humbled by the success we have achieved as a team and Bestway’s success today reflects the hard work of all our colleagues.
