During several months, one of AFA Press partner agencies teams was living in the city of Jeddha, in order to understand the business, economic and cultural reality of the second largest city in Saudi Arabia. During that period, apart from data compilation and in-depth investigation, the team had the chance to interview the most relevant decision makers and stake holders along the city, achieving a general overview full of experienced and expert opinions and visions. Thanks to all this, this AFA Press partners, World Report, had the chance to publish within The Independent and special country report, released on Wednesday, February 10, 2011. This country report can also be read at Worldfolio, the AFA Press on-line channel, which includes, apart from the report, some of the complete interviews done in the country as well as company profiles.
Between the personalities in the report we can find Sheikh Amin A Abulhasan, Chairman of Haji Husein Alireza, Co Ltd, one of the top 100 companies in the country. He defines success as a matter of patience and consistency, main guidelines in his company’s strategy. As a family business, “generation after generation has followed a patient, growth-oriented strategy. It is a steady reinvestment in our business that I would credit most with keeping us at the forefront in our industry and we plan to continue this strategy into the future”.
