Reuben Singh’s early life and career
Reuben Singh was raised in a prosperous family that owned the significant importing company Sabco and had business ties to Canada. They immigrated to England in the 1970s, settling in the village of Poynton in the county of Cheshire. Singh started working at the age of 17. For his contributions to entrepreneurship, Guru Nanak Dev University awarded him an honorary doctorate in 2004. Singh, a second-generation immigrant, made his name in the UK in 1995 when he opened a chain of fashion accessory stores called Miss Attitude at the age of 19.
In 2000, Singh established the contact center business alldayPA. Between 2004 and 2011, the company’s financial filings showed rising profits year over year, and Singh started forming alliances with big-name businesses. The company’s worth was estimated to be at around £85 million as per The Guardian.
When Singh was declared bankrupt in October 2007 as a result of a dispute over a debt that he had personally guaranteed (a lawsuit that lasted from 2004 through 2007), Singh continued to serve on the company’s management team. In October 2008, he received an automatic release from bankruptcy after a year, as is customary in the UK. A few years later, he was reappointed as CEO.
Singh is the CEO of Isher Capital, a small private equity business based in Manchester and London that was founded in 2014. In order to expand its current portfolio of contact centers, which would secure and generate 1,500 jobs, Isher Capital stated in 2018 that it would invest £20 million in the purchase of smaller contact centres around the UK as per Insider Media. He continues to hold the position of the company CEO.
