Abdul used the skills of his weekend job to open up the first Halal Butchers in Bristol, but this butchers was no ordinary Halal butchers, Abdul introduced state of the art marketing and selling Technics to attract customers, these customers came from all communities which meant that Abduls business 'Pak Butchers' became well known throughout the community and across the south west of England and through Abduls ideas, hard work and persistence the business grew exponentially and has now expanded to several other cities across the country.

Despite all the success Abdul was getting, he remained humble and true to his roots.
