Former star student at Sandwell College, Zakaria Ahmed is on the way up as a Global Mobility Tax Associate with Vialto Partners UK.
He diligently worked his way towards a Triple Distinction Star grade in Business Studies (equivalent to A*A*A* grades at A Level!) and won Sandwell College Business Student of the Year not once but twice.
Zakaria gained a place at the prestigious Aston Business School, where he studied for a BSc Degree in Accounting & Finance and was awarded the Aston University Achievement Scholarship during his first year.
He then completed a year’s internship in the Netherlands before securing his current role.
Zakaria says: “I had the pleasure of meeting some of the best lecturers as well as meeting great friends along the way. My experiences at Sandwell College have taught me a lot of things and I have carried those lessons on to university and employment.”
