Ramzan was born in the Southside area of Glasgow, Scotland.[2] In 1947, his father arrived in Scotland from Pakistan, and started a business making duffle coats, kilts, and tartan pinafores, before returning to Pakistan, with his son taking over a staff of 30 at the age of 18.[2][3]

As of early 2017, Quiz had more than 300 stores and outlets worldwide, and employed 1500 people.[2]

In July 2017, Ramzan listed the company on the AIM section of the London Stock Exchange with an initial market valuation of £200 million as it raised £102.7 million of cash from investors.[4]
