Suhail Aziz was born in Sylhet, Bangladesh. He joined the Pakistan
Navy and, after initial training in Pakistan, he entered the
Britannia Royal Naval College, Dartmouth, England, where, on
completion of his training he was commissioned by the British
Admiralty. While in Dartmouth, however, he met and fell in love
with Ann, a British girl. Love brought tensions with the Navy and
Pakistan government whose arbitrary restrictions meant Suhail was
dismissed from the Pakistan Navy for his marriage to a foreign
national. It was the first, but not the last time that he was to
experience discrimination. After his dismissal, Suhail served in
East Pakistan's Inland Water Transport Authority and as a personnel
manager of Unilever Factory, Chittagong, in what was then East
Pakistan, before returning to England in 1966 with his young
family. Back in England, Suhail started out as a ticketing clerk at
a rail station in an outer suburb of London before a change in jobs
lead him to be awarded a direct-entry, permanent commission in the
Royal Air Force. This was just the beginning of Suhail's UK career.
After leaving the RAF, Suhail served at the Ford Motor Company, the
Mars Group and as a Director at the Commission for Racial Equality.
Breakthrough: Memoir of a British-Trained Bangladeshi is Suhail's
story through love and prejudice; how he made it in England
starting at the bottom and rising to the chairmanship of public
bodies, gaining recognition along the way for his distinguished
record of public service. Suhail Aziz's memoir is his life's
experience, impressions and insights.
