Tributes to 'loving husband' and well-known Nottingham taxi driver who died after contracting Covid-19

‍Azeem Hanif, chair of the Nottingham branch of the App Drivers' and Courier Union, also paid tribute. He said: "He was one of the founding members of our union, when we first formed about three-and-a-half years ago here in Nottingham.

"He was very active in recruiting drivers to that union. He was a very humble man and always went out of his way to help others, especially new drivers looking to come into the profession.

"He was a veteran - I'd certainly use that word - for our industry. He was very, very well-known and very popular within the Nottingham driver community. It's a great loss to us as a driver community, it's still pretty raw to be fair.

"He was extremely active and I knew him very well. It was a grave shock this morning when I heard."

An online fundraising page has been sent up towards a special tribute in Bangladesh.

Mr Hanif said: "We've set this GoFundMe page up for him, he actually did a lot of charity work himself.

"He's of Bangladesh heritage and he did a lot of charity work in Bangladesh.

"We had an idea in setting up a GoFundMe page in his memory to build a waterwell in Bangladesh. We started that GoFundMe page today and we've already attracted several hundred pounds already to that. We'd like to build that in his honour."
