Tanvir
Khan of Capita Symonds
was born in Pakistan and came to England in 1962 with his two
brothers and mother, to meet up with their father in Sheffield. He
became a Chartered Civil Engineer in 1986 and a Chartered Structural
engineer in 1989. Tanvir was head hunted for his current company,
Capita Symonds, in 1996. At this stage, the Capita Group was
undergoing rapid expansion and Tanvir quickly moved from Technical
director to Regional director in 2007. He is responsible for
operations in the North of England and, in particular, Sheffield and
Birmingham. Having lost both his parents at the age of 20, his family
and their support have been invaluable, and given him the will to
succeed. His name means 'example' and he wants to ensure he is an
example to all those that wish to be successful.
