This month we meet with Zuber Mulla. Payroll Manager at Eternal Engagements…
First Job?
My first job was working in a care home, where I had the privilege of looking after dementia patients. It was a rewarding experience that taught me the value of compassion and care.

Hi, I’m Zuber, and I work as the Payroll Manager at Eternal Engagements. I have a deep passion for sports, ranging from football to UFC, and I can engage in conversations about various sports.
Biggest Career achievement?
One of my biggest career achievements was successfully navigating the furlough scheme during the COVID-19 pandemic. With legislation changing daily, sometimes multiple times a day, I was able to adapt and ensure compliance for my previous workplace. As a result of our hard work and dedication during this difficult and unprecedented time, I was promoted to Payroll Manager, and our team was recognized by the business for our exceptional performance.

Most people call me Zuber or Mulla. Although, there have been some amusing variations like Zumber or Zuma Zoobear when people reply to my emails.
