Companies in Qatar are anticipating a remarkable milestone with enhancing projects and strategic partnerships in 2023. Qatar’s leading facilities management firm, Al Asmakh A to Z Services group is partnering with government, semi-government, and private entities to offer services to its clients across the country.
Gabriel Semaan, Group CEO in an interview with The Peninsula said that the group has a good connection with all firms and is aspiring to grow more with available services. He said: “For this year our aim is different. Last year when we did the merger, the goal was to align by servicing them better. It is by offering the clients all facilities and features like CCTV, valet parking, pool, security services, cleaning services, firefighting, and fire alarm - all under one roof.”
While other competitors in Qatar have to outsource for all the services, Al Asmakh A to Z Services group stands out for being the only firm to provide services internally as he says that “The company gives better rates as we don’t have to outsource. While we have bigger clients in the market, we also attract smaller clients that really need to make savings this year because it’s a very competitive year and we guarantee quality.”
The growth of the facilities management group came about during the mergers that took place over the years.
Initially, Al Asmakh A to Z Services group focused on internal projects by the government entities and the impact of the business growth it had towards last year’s mega tournament World Cup. Semaan highlighted the company’s contribution towards the Qatari economy while they partnered with various government and semi-government projects during the FIFA period. As most of the workers took part in the project, Semaan said that “In total, the group has more than 8,500 employees as we speak now. So the contribution to the economy is really big. We try to put our print on this industry aiming to gain much more market share.”
“The World Cup was a total success for vision 2030 and for the supreme committee. This is reflected in our group and the growth has been by 62 percent compared to last year. Out of this 62 percent, there’s almost 45 percent that is generated only during the World Cup project. But that’s also a very good sign of the percent of growth on the normal result of the merger,” he added.
