Abdul Aziz Abdulla Al Ghurair

Leadership Message

**Welcome to Al Ghurair!**

As Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of Al Ghurair, I am both privileged and proud to have been entrusted with leading the next chapter of this prestigious company’s 60+ year history. 

From its modest beginnings as a trading business in Dubai more than six decades ago, today, Al Ghurair is a highly regarded regional business, with a reputation for growing with respect, humility and community focus. 

Having fostered a proud history of innovation and entrepreneurship, today Al Ghurair continues to build on its long legacy, founded on a solid commitment to excellence, trust and responsibility - guided by a single ideal: ‘Facilitating meaningful and sustainable change for all’ – or, to speak to our renewed Purpose – ‘Enhancing Life.’

In 2020, Al Ghurair geared up to write the next chapter of its legacy, embarking on a transformational journey. This ambitious growth plan targets 25% of revenue to be generated from new initiatives by 2025, as the business poises to embrace new opportunity and potential. 

Building on the legacy of the last six decades, a trusted and reputed name in the UAE, Al Ghurair is undergoing a metamorphosis: moving from an operating framework of individual companies and brands, to become a purpose-led diversified business – ‘One Al Ghurair’; a regional investment group that is progressive, people orientated, value creating, and powered by the pursuit of sustainable excellence. 

Al Ghurair aspires to be recognised and admired for both commercial leadership and social contribution, and to be a role model for family businesses across the GCC.

I am proud to be part of the legacy.

**أهلًا بكم في الغرير للاستثمار!**

في عملي مديرًا تنفيذيًا لمجموعة الغرير للاستثمار أشعر بالفخر وبأنني محظوظ بمنحي الثقة وتكليفي بقيادة المرحلة القادمة من أنشطة هذه الشركة المرموقة التي لديها تاريخ في الإنجاز يمتد أكثر من ستين عامًا.

في بدايتها كانت الغرير للاستثمار شركةً تجاريةً متواضعة في دبي قبل أكثر من ستة عقود، أما اليوم فقد أصبحت شركة إقليمية مرموقة في المنطقة تحظى باحترام الجميع وتقديرهم،وينظرون لها على أنها من الشركات التي تواصل النمو والتقدم مع الحفاظ على الاحترام والتقدير والتحلي بالتواضع والتركيز على نفع المجتمع.

نحن نفتخر اليوم بسجل زاهر في الابتكار وريادة الأعمال، كما نواصل حفاظنا على إرثنا العريق القائم على التزام راسخ بالتميز والثقة والمسؤولية، يستحثنا في ذلك اعتبار واحد: "تسهيل التغير الهادف والمستدام لجميع الناس" – أو بعبارة أخرى تناسب غايتنا الجديدة – "تحسين المعيشة".

في عام 2020 استعدت الغرير لكتابة الفصل التالي من قصة إرثها، فصل الشروع في رحلتها التحويلية. تستهدف خطة النمو الطموحة هذه توليد 25٪ من الإيرادات من امبادرات جديدة بحلول عام 2025، حيث تستعد الشركة لاغتنام الفرص والإمكانيات الجديدة.

إن الغرير للاستثمار قد برز اسمها ولمع نجمها وأصبحت محط تقدير الناس واحترامهم على مدار العقود الستة الماضية في دولة الإمارات، واستنادًا إلى ذلك قررت الشركة أن تمر بمرحلة تحول: أن تنتقل من العمل ضمن إطار الشركات والعلامات التجارية الفردية لتصبح شركة متنوعة النشاطات تقودها غاية – "غرير واحدة": أيْ مجموعة استثمارية إقليمية تقدمية تهتم بالأشخاص وتُنشئ القيمة ويدفعها السعي نحو تحقيق التميز المستدام.

تطمح الغرير للاستثمار لأن تكون معروفة بين الناس بريادتها التجارية ومساهمتها الاجتماعية وحائزةً على تقديرهم وإعجابهم، وأن تكون نموذجًا يحتذى به للشركات التجارية العائلية في منطقة الخليج.

ينتابني الفخر لكوني جزءًا من هذا الإرث.
