A Man from Bangladesh

Landed in NZ on 18th May, 1995 with my family Came with heart full of hope to a complete new

Country to explore my hidden luck. The journey was not smooth yet worthy. I

started my career in service sector at Mecca to survive. But the success began from there. Ideas evolved and finally owner of Mecca Stonehouse at Mission Bay.

It was a challenge yet interesting. I was never exposed to such industry. So new country brought new career for me. I was surprised but satisfied.

Famous for it’s location and land mark We got many awards and praise from our

beloved customers around the globe café/restaurant/bar/function Place also

famous for coffee and nutritious foods/Healthy eating concept.

We also do whole range of function/wedding and party planning.

20-30 staff working at Stonehouse. Including all entity 40-50 staff employed by my company.

I grew interest in property development ever since I m here

Now my company started investing in property

I have residential to commercial properties (total 11 property including 3 medical centre property)

It was hard yet paid off I got medical practitioner license in 2000 I was working for few years in Auckland Heath board

in Auckland hospital Later moved to GP at the same time worked for New

Zealand boxing Federation/Fight for lify/K1 Kick boxing as Ring side Doctor. Note I was National Champion in Karate in Bangladesh while I was student.So I loved and enjoyed that roll.

Then I started Medical Centre in Epsom. 2 years ago I bought St. Lukes Medical centre property

then also bought Practice and happily serving a big community.

Success come at a cost Take the challenge Continue the progression process Accept change Confident but not over confident Listen to others Believe in professionalism Success doesn’t come by surprise rather

plan the success. People do not plan to fail rather fail to plan

I still believe that I have a long way to go to serve this country. I am proud of being a kiwi.
