• Click here to view Sajid's biography.
  

• Sajid, 40, was born in England and is one of five sons. His father was a bus driver. 
• He attended state schools and won a place at Exeter University to study Economics and Politics.
• He joined the Conservative Party 21 years ago and has been an active volunteer ever since. 
• Sajid and Laura started going out while students. They married 9 years later and today are the proud parents of four children, aged from 1 to 10 years.
• After university, Laura worked as a Careers Teacher before becoming a full time mum. 
• Aged 24 and based in New York, Sajid became a Vice President of Chase Manhattan Bank.  He was later headhunted by Deutsche Bank in London to help build its business in poorer countries, and left as a senior Managing Director in the summer of 2009 to try to give something back through politics.
• He is a specialist in helping to raise investment in developing countries and considered a global leader in this field. 
• Sajid’s an effective communicator. He’s been grilled live by Jeremy Paxman - twice.
• He has been engaged in community work his entire adult life, including raising £710,000 in a single event for the Disasters Emergency Committee and leading a charity expedition to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro for Help the Aged.
• He is a Trustee of London Early Years Foundation, London’s largest childcare charity.
• Sajid loves spending time with his children.  Although at weekends he often feels like a taxi driver, shuttling them from one event to the next, he wouldn't have it any other way!
• He enjoys relaxing over dinner with friends and family.  He's crazy about chocolate, and can make a delicious triple chocolate cake.
• Sajid keeps fit by going to the gym, running and hiking.  He grew up playing cricket (at every spare moment), and as a young child was often asked to stop bowling at the drainpipe!
