            Sultan A. Al Habtoor
          
        
        
          I have been President
        
        
          of Al Habtoor Motors for more than three
        
        
          decades now, and I have never been prouder of the business as I am today.
        
        
          In 2013 we witnessed exponential growth… We introduced two new Chinese
        
        
          brands to the UAE market, took on three global tire makers, and we dominated
        
        
          the Dubai International Motor Show, showcasing all our brands at the worldwide
        
        
          event. These are just some of our achievements over a period of 12 months. All
        
        
          this could not have been done without the hard work and commitment of our
        
        
          staff.
        
        
          It is clear to see that we have a winning team at Al Habtoor Motors. This is
        
        
          why; as a Business Unit, Al Habtoor Motors was presented (for the second year
        
        
          running) the Business Unit Award at the Employee Excellence Awards.
        
        
          In addition, Karl Hamer was a worthy winner of the highly-coveted Chairman’s
        
        
          Award; he is a hard worker and gets himself involved in most aspects of the
        
        
          business, and he is someone that motivates the staff.
        
        
          I think our success at Al Habtoor Motors lies in the principle that every stakeholder
        
        
          in the sales transaction remains happy. It starts from the manufacturer and
        
        
          goes down to our employees and up to our customers. We have a professional
        
        
          team who knows how to deal with the customer and ensures that customer
        
        
          satisfaction is maintained at the highest level.
        
        
          In my view, our single biggest achievement is being ‘number one’ in the world
        
        
          across all our brands. We stand out by closely monitoring our performance
        
        
          and constantly pushing our targets higher than ever. The challenge now is to
        
        
          maintain that position and not let our guard down. I have faith in our products,
        
        
          our staff and our service track record that we will stay at the top!
        
        
          At Al Habtoor Motors we know what it feels like to be number one. We will
        
        
          keep hitting our targets, and maintaining our market position - and we will do
        
        
          everything in our power to win all the awards we won last year again in the
        
        
          coming year. We are one happy family at Al Habtoor Motors, and I consider my
        
        
          staff as owners as well, because without them we couldn’t have achieved what
        
        
          we have today.
        
        
          Congratulations to all of you!
        
        
          
            Sultan A.
