Shaf Delivers Keynote speach at Strathclyde University Awards Dinner

By 1999, Strathclyde graduate Shaf Rasul

was already a self-made multi-millionaire

with an extensive investment portfolio

that would allow him to take it easy for

the rest of his life. It was at that time that

Mr Rasul – who was recently named as

one of two new Dragons in an online

version of the BBC’s Dragons’ Den –

established E-Net Computers.

Ten years on the business is now the

largest storage media distributor in

Europe and one the biggest buyers of

optical storage products in the world.

The business has developed partnerships

with the world’s top optical media

manufacturers and has retained supply

agreements with a wide portfolio of

web-stores and high-street retail chains. A

global import/export hub in Dubai and a

£5 million distribution centre at Edinburgh

Airport have also been established to

support the growth of the business which

recorded peak sales of £67.2 million during

2004-05. As well as masterminding the

growth of E-Net Computers, Mr Rasul has

also developed a venture capital investment

portfolio which focuses on property, asset

management and internet technology.

Shaf Rasul will be delivering the keynote

speech at the University’s Enterprise Awards

Dinner on Tuesday 17th November 2009.

The BBC’s online version of Dragons’ Den

will be airing on television later this year.
