Zahidul Islam joined Pas Reform in the summer of 2003 after participating in a hatchery course in Barneveld, The Netherlands. Zahid became our country representative with Axon and developed a strong foothold for Royal Pas Reform in the Bangladeshi market. His drive for customer satisfaction and his understanding of the poultry industry, which he also acquired working for Usha Poultry, were second to none.
He was always dedicated to his customer base, shown by the speed of response he demonstrated and the meetings we had with him in the middle of the night because he wanted to help his customers. He was a special person. With such an attitude, you are a sought-after figure in the international poultry industry, and it is for this reason that he also became the representative for other leading companies, such as Marel and Roxell. He was instrumental in our growth in the Bangladeshi poultry market.
With more than 30 years of specialist experience in the poultry and livestock industries, Zahidul Islam was widely respected for his expertise and leadership. In recent years, he was also instrumental in bringing the Bangladeshi poultry industry forward, amongst others by organizing poultry exhibitions.
Above all, Zahidul was an enormously hard-working person, a characteristic that he also passed on to his technical and commercial staff at Axon, especially Mr. Abu Syed. The conviction that Abu Syed will keep the dedication that Zahid always had to the Bangladeshi industry alive fills us with confidence for the future.
We are grateful for his dedication, his leadership and the valuable contribution he made to Royal Pas Reform and the Bangladeshi poultry industry.
Our thoughts are with his family, especially his wife Sairah, their children, his friends and all who had the privilege of knowing him. We extend our heartfelt condolences during this difficult time.
On behalf of the team at Royal Pas Reform
