About ERSF

Erach and Roshan were special and extraordinary people. They loved life and whatever they turned their minds to, they did it with determination and purpose.

Shortly after their marriage they went off to live in Afghanistan. Roshan become a teacher in an international school in Kabul and Erach flew Dakota’s, “old tin buckets”, over some of the most dangerous terrains in the world. They both took everything in their stride and had a true pioneering spirit.

After a few years Roshan and Erach returned to England. Roshan became a social worker for a number of years and Erach started ‘Housemasters’, a company that imported luggage, travel goods and household items.
