Proud to accept the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade award for Business Person of the Year.
Honoured to have been the recipient of the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade Business Excellence Award.
Ashmeed is so passionate about helping people, he served as a director on the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade, sharing his knowledge and skillset with the business community, and help to grow and network with businesses in the community.
Ashmeed has served at all different levels of government over the last 15 years.
Town of Ajax called into help pioneer a new project called upnext Ajax where we mentor young entrepreneurs preparing our young leaders for the business world and general work force.
Ash created and spearheaded a youth training program, along with the John Howard Society, offering on-the-job training for youths 18-24, who are considered unemployable. Ashmeed trains them to work in a creative print-production environment. Many have remained as full-time employees. This same program is now being offered in conjunction with the YMCA.

Ashmeed Khan has been a colleague, my boss as a director when I was in communications at the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade, and I’ve been his client, receiving amazing service from his community-minded business. And in all instances I’d say a friend and an inspirational leader. He works hard, listens carefully, and always cares. I personally believe that he would be an excellent representative for his community if he were chosen to sit on Ajax Council and he would benefit the town with his passion and dedication. Not to mention down to earth sense of humour!
Communications Manager, Not-for-profit sector
I have watched Ash grow as a business person and entrepreneur in Durham Region. I have also seen his drive and determination to not only growing his business, but also to foster economic growth for others and support initiatives in the community. This is a man with a strong commitment to family, to helping others succeed and belong. From young entrepreneurs, to economic development and diversity initiatives; Ash has given of his enthusiasm, dedication, time, and expertise to Ajax and the community.
Former CEO, Whitby Chamber of Commerce
Roughly 12 years ago Ash came to Ajax with ambitions of taking over the Durham Region print maket with Minuteman Press. As a fellow entrepreneur with a neighbouring business which is now Modern Man Grooming, it was made clear early on that his drive and focus would go unmatched. With relentless marketing and networking he would soon expand his business and ultimately step into the world of politics. I have no doubt that the very same qualities such as honesty and integrity that have allowed him to be a successful businessman will transfer into being a strong political leader.
