A high-flying businessman has swapped his glamourous life in Dubai for beekeeping in south east England after buying land to create green space in his local community. Khalid Undrie, 57, was an interior designer and owner of a property development company.
He purchased the land in Harrow, north London, in 2010 on his return from the lavish United Arab Emirates city, complete with a luxurious villa, personal driver and maid. Khalid, who lives at the London property with his wife Anjum, 56, a teacher, and four children, Anisah, 31, Zahrah, 26, Uzayr, 20, and Amina, 19, stumbled upon beekeeping by chance.
His plan with the land was to create a ‘food forest’ which is an environment of diverse and edible plants. After initially installing two hives, Khalid’s love for his hobby grew.
