Shakar Habib, a 28-year-old from Newham, London, has been handed a six-year ban from corporate involvement for failing to account for over £3.5 million in spending, including more than £2.5 million of public funding. Habib served as the sole director of Vista Training Solutions Limited, a London-based apprenticeship training provider that ceased operations in February 2020.
Vista Training Solutions specialises in offering training programs to students through enterprise schemes and has partnered with various organizations to deliver apprenticeships across London. The majority of its funding came from the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA).
