Our senior team
The people within S7 make us who we are
Farrukh Sarwar
After studying Pharmacology at Portsmouth University, Farrukh headed to the city to work in recruitment. Despite developing personable skills that have since proved highly transferable, he wanted to move over to something that was more fulfilling so took on a role at the non-profit organisation, The Talent Foundry, as a Project Manager.
Farrukh spent 2 years working for this great cause and decided that it was time to move on, so he joined a Business Development Agency. Farrukh had the opportunity to work with some game changing agencies within digital, content and marketing for brands such as Innocent Drinks, BNP Paribas, Kellogg’s and many others.
Farrukh was here for 3 years and left to start S7 in 2019 after achieving huge successes, partnering great brands with clients.
In his spare time, Farrukh can be found in the gym, practising calisthenics, running down the seafront and spending time with the family.
Fast forward to today, S7 has gone from strength to strength, continued to win new business for our clients and are now partnering with more and more brands to support in their agency selection.
Zain Sarwar
Zain studied Economics at London Metropolitan University, after graduating, he began his sales career as an Estate Agent which spanned over 6 years. After deciding it was time for a change, Zain moved over to Business Development and joined Farrukh at the same agency.
Following this, once Farrukh decided to start S7, Zain’s experience in sales and marketing made him the perfect match for S7. Working together as brothers brings its own troubles, however the brothers have overcome this by bringing out each other’s strengths and working together to achieve great wins!
You’ll find Zain on the pitch as an avid football player and supporter, at a snooker table potting balls or with family.
What our clients think
We’re proud of the relationships we have with our customers, here are a few comments about the service we provide.
We work with Farrukh and S7 for our business development and his approach is clear, direct and effective. Finding new clients is vital for any small business and S7 has taken the time to fully understand what we do and how we do it before going to market. This has led to positive responses from prospects, qualified meetings and given us a good foundation on which to build our proposition and convert to new business.
Des Paul, Executive Producer and MD The Content Works
We have been working with Farrukh for a number of years and his ability to support our new business needs is second to none. His approach, professionalism and ability to understand our core business has delivered results each and every time. He will continue to be a valuable resource and we hope to be working with him for many years to come.
Steve Pritchard, Director itWorks
We love working with Farrukh and the S7 team. They really take the time to understand your business and what success looks like for you, and then apply that to their work. Most importantly, we’ve never worked with someone where we’ve had such positive feedback on their initial cold calls and sales approach from the potential clients we do meet. It’s great to know we can trust them to really represent our business the way we would want.
Hannah Thorpe, MD Verkeer
Farrukh has been brilliant to work with so far on our business development initiatives. We have good quality meetings booked in every month, and have closed what we would consider a dream client. Farrukh is always on hand to answer questions, sets realistic expectations, and is honest and thorough in his account management and reporting. I’d recommend without hesitation.
Lucy Kirkness, Founder and MD Pandable
Working with Farrukh has been great, his enthusiasm for our business and real professionalism has opened many doors. We had previously worked with some very well known sales development agencies all who have never really cared about our business and as a result performed poorly. Farrukh on the other hand has been an actual extension of our team and able to act as our dedicated sales director.
Philip Driver, Founder and CEO CommerceCentric
Within the first minute of speaking to Farrukh after I took his call he had me convinced he was the right person to hire for Catch Creative. The irony is we weren’t even looking for a sales person at the time but he made a sound case because of his power of persuasion. He subsequently went on to secure several meetings with some of the big names in the banking world for us. He is extremely presentable, will adapt for your brands tone and messaging and knows exactly the right tactics to use.
