Fortel Group

In Loving Memory of Surinder Singh Nijjer (Shinda), Founder and Chairman of Fortel Group. It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Surinder Singh Nijjer, our esteemed Founder and Chairman. Shinda was not only a visionary entrepreneur who built Fortel Group into one of the UK’s leading construction businesses but also a man of exceptional integrity, humility, and compassion. Shinda’s unwavering commitment to hard work, respect for others, and generosity of spirit defined both his business and personal life. He touched countless lives, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, inspiration, and purpose. For over two decades, Shinda devoted much of his time, energy, and resources to charitable causes. From supporting educational programmes and healthcare initiatives to providing homes for those in need in his homeland of India, he embodied the true meaning of giving back. His selfless contributions have left an indelible mark on communities near and far, and his legacy of philanthropy will continue to inspire generations to come. As we reflect on Shinda’s extraordinary life, we honour his vision, values, and unwavering dedication to making the world a better place. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and all those who were touched by his warmth, generosity, and leadership. Shinda, you were a true leader, a generous philanthropist, and an enduring inspiration to us all. We remain deeply grateful for your guidance, wisdom, and the example you set. Your legacy will continue to live on in our hearts and minds! May you rest in peace, and may God bless you always.
