Arshad is a qualified solicitor and has recently stepped down from managing and running his own law firm. He now works as a consultant for several law firms and coaches football and cricket in his spare time. 

He also was the primary carer for his father for around 16 years, who had suffered a major stroke and therefore has first-hand knowledge of what it is like to care for a family member and the important role that unpaid carers play. He joined the Board in 2021.
