-Sameer and the Team at Forged

Hello too you all... 😊

You all already know I’m not good with public speaking or standing in front of a crowd trying to explain how I feel. So here it is in writing… & even this doesn't come close to how you have all made me feel... trust ill go to war for each and everyone of you 🤝

This message is for every single person who stood by me and made FD’s first ever track day a reality. 🙌

First Jaz... The Rock 🪨 of my foundation & my support piller whos kept me grounded... I know im unpredictable & make some ridiculous decisions on the flip of a coin 🪙! But shes always stood by even if iv woken up hooked up my trailer at midnight & booked a 3am ferry of too Christchurch on a mission & her waking up too ... where the f**k are you !!!! 😳 lol ! 🤭 sometimes spending every last dollar in our bank account on a split decision! But never questioned me only supported... Thank you

The Struggles & Sacrifice
What you see today—this company, this event, this “success”—it didn’t come easy.

It came from being knocked down more times than I can count. From people not believing in me, questioning my morals, and even turning their backs. It came from sleepless nights, 18-hour days, running on 3–4 hours of sleep, and pushing through when my body had nothing left.

There were nights where dinner didn’t happen until 11 pm or midnight, or not at all. Times I had only enough money for a 6-inch sub sandwich, but told Jaz it was a footlong so she wouldn’t worry about me being hungry. Only to find out later she was doing the same—sacrificing for us to survive.

There were weeks where the bank account was empty because every cent I had went into tools or pre-paying for parts. Where I questioned myself, wondering if I’d made the right choice, wondering if I’d survive another hit. 🫴

I was told over and over to “stop doing jobs for nothing,” “stop helping people who couldn’t pay upfront,” because what if they never came back? And yeah—some didn’t. But I refused to let the bad ones stop me from helping the good ones. Today, those same people I helped are my most loyal customers.

That’s how Forged Development was built—not from money or luck, but from sacrifice, stubbornness, loyalty, and a belief that helping people would always come back around.

The Journey
What started as just a thought…
Turned into an idea 💡…
Became a company in March 2012—no cards, no website, no advertising. Just me, my tools, and word of mouth.

Fast forward, and today Forged Development is trusted by database of customers & Protecta, MBI, Assurant & Provident insurance.....................................................

The Thanks
To my team—Jaz, Bevan, Avi, Bhavin, Aaron, Shana, Preet, Sonesh, Hiral, Rohan, Mehul, Sumi, Deepana, Ryan, Sada, & our newest addition Beni.

Specifically Bruce & Mikes unwavering loyalty and Mike’s rock-solid backbone, our companies would not stand where they are today. These two aren’t just part of the team — they are the very pillars of our growth, trust, and support. The skills, knowledge, and experience they bring to the table are second to none, and we are all so lucky to have them in our corner. Mike continues to be the backbone that holds everything together, and Bruce, whose religious loyalty to me has never wavered, with Bruce joining partnership with me and Jaz in our new business, Allfab — a move that shows just how much trust and belief he has in what we’re building together. Simply put, Bruce and Mike are not just assets… they are family, and the biggest reasons our companies keep moving forward. 💪

You’ve all been my army. Every time we take on something, we go from individuals to a unit, and then into a force. You give it everything, and that’s what makes us different.

To my parents—both dads and both mums… your love, guidance, and trust is the foundation of everything. Without you, the thought would have never even turned into an idea. 🫴

The biggest thanks of all goes to you—and to Sonal, my sister—for always believing, even when all I had was a dream, empty pockets, and a head full of stubbornness. Thank you for trusting me & giving me the opportunity to make you all proud 🤲

The Outcome
Together, we created something from nothing. That something gave us more than a company—it gave us lifelong friends and family.

Our first ever event was a sellout, max capacity. A year’s worth of planning, sleepless nights, and sacrifices—and we did it.

Special thanks to Sumi, Deepana Bhavin & ofcourse Jaz for the behind-the-scenes fine-tuning that kept this whole ship steady.

✨ A Moment to Acknowledge ✨

Someone from our team whom carried a very big role behind this entire event—without hesitation, without question—pulled himself from attending, so he could stand beside Eesha’s family in their hardest time.

That single act says everything about what Forged Development Family truly is. It’s not just about cars, projects, or destinations. It’s about the journey, about who we are along the way, about how many people we lift up, support, and stand beside when it matters most.

He not only did his part—he made it possible for the rest of the crew to carry out the very first Forged Development Track 2025, held in honor and memory of Kishan Patel.

He reminded us all that the greatest wins aren’t measured in trophies or times—they’re measured in loyalty, sacrifice, and being there for each other. That is the backbone of Forged Development.

🙏Thank you Deepana 🙏

Thank you to everyone that traveled throughout New Zealand to be at our event & a special Thank you too Sonal, Aniya, Shaan, Chirag, Sach, Naveesha, Ben, Nick, Mike from overseas 🫴 humbling feeling I am so touched by the effort you guys have all made.

Thank you to Garry and his Team at PlayDay on Track making this all possible!

And last but definitely not least, thank you to all the participants that came! This day wouldn’t be an event if it wasn’t for every one of you! You made this event what it was! I hope you had a great experience and hope to see you all again soon.

...The Future...
This isn’t the end. It’s just the beginning.

We don’t stop here. We start again today. We go again TOMORROW...

Love you all, thank you for everything.

Sameer ❤️
