In his spare time and when he was working for the engineering company, he undertook the National Three Peaks with his colleagues and the Manchester to Blackpool cycle ride and raised funds for various charities. Now he is retired, his main focus is his garden, having moved house after retiring to a quieter area and a house with a stream. A never-ending project that is being transformed to an adventure play area for their grandkids and also the children they foster. Another major task he has undertaken is supporting the local Mosque with their reconstruction project.
Part of his ‘mid life crisis’, Ahmed and his oldest son became the custodians of a 1966 V8 Ford Mustang classic.
