A
NOTE
TO
OUR
READERS
We’ve been
busy and we LOVE it!
Flicking through the pages, you will see
what I mean.
Mr. Khalaf Al Habtoor, our Chairman,
received a Lifetime Achievement Award
from AHIC 2013. Mr. Al Habtoor’s
participation was certainly a great
addition to the conference. Look for the
video on the Group’s YouTube Channel.
Our Emiratisation plans are moving
with full force. We held our first Open
Recruitment Day last May 9th, the
turnout was great. We are excited to
see young Emiratis eager to join the
Al Habtoor Group family. Also, the
Risk Management team at the Group
organised a Risk Management Seminar
and Workshop which was a great
success. And that’s not all… This issue,
we shed the light on departments within
the units. We have selected unsung
heroes, the Credit Department at Al
Habtoor Motors. The team of 12 is led
by Mr. Medhat Yassa who joined AHM
as it celebrated its first anniversary. He
tells us how he watched the company
grow and become one of the key players
in the automotive industry in the region.
From great medical advice from Dr.
Hala, to big celebrations and recognition
of our senior directors from different
bodies, we hope you’ll enjoy Sawalef…
Don’t forget the competition!!
